Confirmed on 12.04 even after all updates. In my case is just easy to test it. There are 2 ways, one happens always, the other one happens in some cases:
Rare Nautilus Case (This happens rarely): 1. Go to nautilus and copy any file/folde you want. 2. Right click on an empty space and see that the Paste option in the context menu is grayed. Note that it is selectible and you can paste, but to see it grayed I would thinks that I did not copy anything. Desktop Case (Always happens. I mean ALWAYS!): 1. On your desktop copy anything there, be it a folder or a file. 2. Right click on an empty space and see that the Paste option in the context menu is grayed. This might have something to do with the fact that Gnome3 removed files/folders from the Desktop. So in Unity maybe some option is not affecting the way a clipboard created from a Desktop object is detected and does not active the Paste option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882307 Title: [list-view] After copying text from a rename entry, file copy menus items are broken Status in Application menu module for GTK+: Triaged Status in Nautilus: New Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “nautilus” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: When renaming a file in nautilus, in list view, if you copy the highlighted part of the name, after this you're unable to copy/paste files This only occurs in list view Steps to reproduce: - Open Nautilus - Chose List View - Right click a file and chose Rename.
