Synopsis: nautilus cut and paste functions fail to work
Bugzilla-Product: nautilus
Bugzilla-Component: File and Folder Operations
Bugzilla-Version: 2.4.x
Description:
Description of Problem:

I frequently have problems making file cut and paste operations work.

I highlight the files, and using either the menu or the keyboard, I cut
the files.  When I paste them to another location in Nautilus, the
operation does nothing at all.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

The delete key also often fails, requiring several presses before
Nautilus will delete the files.

No, it isn't my keyboard.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. select files in Nautilus
2. press ^X to cut file, or select <E>dit->C<u>t File from the menu
3. change to another location in Nautilus (ex. go up or down a level)
and try paste

Actual Results:

Nothing.

Expected Results:

The cut files should be moved to the new location.

How often does this happen?

Very frequently, but so far I cannot detect a pattern.

It *does* happen more often if I am moving up in the hierarchy than in
any other case.  For example, moving to /usr/files/moveme, cutting
files, going to /usr/files, and pasting.
