Public bug reported:
I opened Dolphin in a directory with a lot of large (video) files. I
then created another Dolphin window of another directory (on the same
file system.) I proceeded to move files from one to the other. Because
the pop-up menu gets old quickly I held down Shift to make sure I got
move behaviour without the pop-up.
Expected Result: The file "old/A.mp4" is moved to "new/".
Actual Result: The file "old/A.mp4" is correctly moved to "new/A.mp4"
But in addition, some random "old/B.mp4" has been silently renamed
"old/A.mp4"
This happened twice. I've "refreshed" dolphin and it seems the change
is real in the filesystem, not just an error in the display.
I believe this is a serious bug, as it has result in data loss (ie the
file B has lost its name)
Workaround: just use the pop-up menu
