Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Using Nautilus 2.28.0 (Ubuntu Karmic) If I have the following structure:

parentfolder                          (1)
->samefoldername                (2)
   ->samefoldername             (3)
      ->files

And I drag folder 3 into folder 1, I get the following message:

A folder named "samefoldername" already exists. Do you want to merge the
source folder? The source folder already exists in "parentfolder".
Merging will ask for confirmation before replacing any files in the
folder that conflict with the files being moved.

When I then click 'Merge', I get the following message:

You cannot move a folder over itself. The source file would be
overwritten by the destination.

What should happen is I get the following structure instead:


parentfolder
->samefoldername
      ->files

Windows Explorer can do it. Nautilus should be able to too.
