How long did you leave it before rebooting?
The bug appears spontaneously, sometimes in 30 minutes, sometimes in 5
mins.
I'm not sure 100%, however, I think the bug is somehow related to
displaying
the destination folder contents during moving the files.
What type of drives are the source / target? Spinning Rust? SSD? NVMe?
Both source and destination folders are on the same 500 Gb SSD, ext4
FS.
How are they connected? SATA? USB?
SATA.
When moving files on the same disk impression is, at least with dragging
in the desktop file manager, it seems instant. Whereas to another disk
seems to make new files. I guess that when on the same disk the OS
changes only something about the file description?
