Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

sorry for my bad English first

When I make (or have) a document on my Desktop I can't move it properly.
Every time I 'drag&drop' I think nautilus wants to make a copy of the file instead he moves it. It's allowed to move files, but only when I hit Ctrl+button1. Normally he should move (replace) the file on the desktop.

I (actually my girlfriend) use Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn upgraded from 6.10 which also an upgrade from 6.06. The drag&drop-problem starts in 6.10. I hoped that it was solved when I do a dist-upgrade, but it is still there. Even I try to re-install nautilus with synaptic the problem stays there.

I hope my problem is wrote down clearly, otherwise I will answer questions here.

Thank you for your bug. I don't confirm, it deplaces it correctly on my feisty desktop. Is your desktop directory a local one? Does it happen with a new document only or with anything?

@ Sebastien Bacher

The desktop directory is a local one, and it happens with new and older ones.
