Can't merge a folder with a parent with the same name

[fubarbundy]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Using Nautilus 2.28.0 (Ubuntu Karmic) If I have the following structure:

parentfolder (1)
->samefoldername (2)
   ->samefoldername (3)
      ->files

And I drag folder 3 into folder 1, I get the following message:

A folder named "samefoldername" already exists. Do you want to merge the source folder? The source folder already exists in "parentfolder". Merging will ask for confirmation before replacing any files in the folder that conflict with the files being moved.

When I then click 'Merge', I get the following message:

You cannot move a folder over itself. The source file would be overwritten by the destination.

What should happen is I get the following structure instead:

parentfolder
->samefoldername
      ->files

Windows Explorer can do it. Nautilus should be able to too.

Tested under the same conditions. Confirmed.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)
