This bug makes saving URLs to the desktop unusable (e.g. from Firefox). In addition, Nautilus crashes if moving multiple files at once if the .desktop file contains certain types of URLs.
Steps to reproduce crash: * save this as test.desktop on the Ubuntu desktop: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=test Type=Link URL=https://www.google.com/contacts/?hl=en&tab=mC#contacts/group/40/Directory Icon=text-html Name[en_US]=test * create an empty directory on the Ubuntu desktop * use the mouse to draw a box around these two icons and then move them together to another place on the desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1278437 Title: can't move link type .desktop files around on desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1278437/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
