[Bug 50694] copy and paste of filename broken

[Vitezslav Kotrla]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

To reproduce:

Let's have two files, "foo" and "bar". I want rename "bar" to "foobar".
I do it this way:

1. select file "foo", press F2 (rename mode, but I do this to get filename text selected),
2. press CTRL+C,
3. select file "bar", press F2 to get to renaming mode, click in front of "b" for we want to paste there,
4. press CTRL+V.

Instead of text "foo" being pasted before "bar" text the whole file
"foo" is being duplicated in current folder (new file "foo (copy 1)"
appears).

It looks like the file handle is written to clipboard instead of
filename string. Please note this is a regression, I reported this bug
around 2.8 in nautilus-users list and Alex Larsson fixed it in upstream
immediately. That time only browser mode was affected but now this bug
can be reproduced both in browser and spatial mode.

Please note current Debian/Sid nautilus (2.14.1-4) doesn't exhibit this
strange behavior.

$ dpkg -l | grep nautilus
