Thank you for posting the screenshot. I am now able to recreate the
bug, and I am marking this report confirmed. This bug does not occur
when the original file is moved into the directory, only when it is
copied. Please verify that this statement is also what you observe.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
** Description changed:
Use nautilus to do the following:
* Create file "test"
* Make link to file "test" in a separate folder "a"
* Rename link to "test"
- * Drag original file "test" into folder "a"
+ * Copy the original file "test" into folder "a"
* Confirm you want to replace the file
Result:
* The original file is truncated and the link remains the same
Expected behavior:
* The link is replaced with a copy of the original file
--
replacing a symlink with its linked file truncates the original file
