I just tried for several minutes to reproduce the problem in debug mode and could not. I navigated throughout my file system to areas owned by both user and root. I copied and pasted files owned by root to my user desktop and did not experience any unusual behavior. When I first reported this bug, I could reproduce it within seconds. I did install more than 30 updates in the last 2 days. Perhaps something in them has fixed this problem?
