[Bug 82196] Re: Nautilus has poor usability w.r.t. the action choosen when dragging and dropping

[Vincenzo Ciancia]

I thought it behaved differently - however it seems that the default
action chosen for dropping a file is more complicated than what you
described: even in my user directory, it is not deterministic: I just
tried dragging a file from my home directory to my desktop. It moves the
file. When I drag it back, it copies it!

I thought about that, and discovered that if your /home/myuser is a
symlink, nautilus will feature this strange behavior: drag and drop in
the desktop from the home will move, drag and drop from the destop to
the home will copy. Shall I reopen and leave this as a bug editing the
description?
