write operations on readonly folders fail SILENTLY when done via keyboard shortcuts

[Teo]

Example 1
Browse to a folder in a read/write filesystem, select some file or folder and hit Ctrl+C
Then browse to a folder in a read-only filesystem, and hit Ctrl+V (paste)

Expected: exactly the same should happen as when you drag an item from a folder to the other: an error message informing you that the operation failed, with a "details" dropdown which you can expand and see it was because the target folder is read-only

Observed: nothing happens at all. Not even the error sound is played.

Example 2
Go to a read-only filesystem, select a file or folder and hit Ctrl+X (cut). If it was a read/write filesystem the selected item would become grey. Since it is readonly it can't, but:

Expected: an error message should pop up or at the very least, the error sound should be played

observed: nothing happens at all

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
