CTRL-C in nautilus incorrectly copies the entire file when editing the filename

[Rocko]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When editing the text in filenames using Maverick's nautilus, ie with the rename command, CTRL-C copies the entire file, not the selected text.

To reproduce:

1. Open nautilus and create two empty files, test123 and test999.

2. Select test1 and press F2 to edit the filename.

3. Select the '123' and press CTRL-C to copy the '123' part of the filename text.

4. Press CTRL-V and a copy of test123 is created named test123 (copy).

Note that if you select test999 and press F2 to edit the filename then CTRL-V to paste the '123', nothing happens until you press ESC, at which point a copy of of test123 is created. Instead, '123' should be pasted in place of test999.

If you use the right-click menu 'Copy' function in step 3, it works as expected - only the CTRL-C functionality is broken.
