Public bug reported:
Until Ubuntu 18.10 Nautilus does copy all selected filenames in simple Text
format and this way you cold paste the selected files as a list to other
programs: for example into the texteditor gedit. This was a very useful
function if you have, for example, to upload a file to webmail or other
web-service. You cold copy the file within nautilus and paste it directliy to
the selection dialog or webfield to upload the file.
Or if you wanted a simple List of all your files in a folder you where
able to select all files with nautilus, copy and paste into gedit. This
is not possible anymore. The output of natilus looks now like this:
x-special/nautilus-clipboard
copy
file:///home/<user>/Schreibtisch/new%20document.txt
Until Ubuntu 18.10 this looks like this:
/home/<user>/Schreibtisch/new document.txt
Steps to reproduce:
1. Select files with nautilus
2. Press Ctrl+C
3. open gedit
4. press Ctrl+V
