Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
nautilus:
Installed: 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4
Candidate: 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4
Version table:
*** 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4 0

Nautilus does not give a warning if you attempt to copy a folder into itself.
This is a regression from Gutsy. In Gutsy you would get a warning if you
attempted to do this.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open your home directory, right click on the Desktop folder and select Copy.
2. Right click on the actual Desktop and attempt to paste it there. (be warned
this could eat up your hard drive very fast)
What should happen: You should get a warning that you cannot perform
this operation.
What actually happens: There is no warning (as there used to be in Gutsy) and
it actually proceeds with the operation. It will create a folder on the
Desktop called Desktop which has a tree structure like so:
Desktop/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop....
