Bug Description
Ok, I searched for this already but couldn't find it. I've noticed a minor niggle in Nautilus that is quite annoying after a while... so, you have Nautilus displaying a standard directory tree view on the right with a list view on the left (a la Windows Explorer). You go to a directory in the tree view that contains some stuff you want to move. You select the items to be moved in the list view, then plug in a new disk to put them on. The disk is mounted, and it appears in Nautilus's tree view. Great! But when you drag and drop the items you've selected in the list view, the new disk isn't available as a drop target. You have to click the new disk first in the tree view, then go back to the previous directory, then reselect your items again, and now _this_ time the new disk is available as a drop target.
I'm guessing this is easy to fix, and it would save a lot of clicking around.
