[Bug 29589] Can't make a copy of a file in the same folder

Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
ubuntu dapper:

right click a file > copy > right click on the empty space in the same
folder > paste

and nothing happens.

The correct behavior should be to create a copy of the file with a
different name (e.g. with "copy of" prepended). This looks like a bug:
if it were intended behavior, the "paste" option would be disabled.
