Public bug reported:

This is on Ubuntu Hardy.

This is what *should* happen (it works in symbol view in nautilus or at the 
desktop):
* Create a file, "foo.txt".
* Drag it, then drop it to the same window while holding Ctrl (cursor changes 
to copy cursor).
* A copy of the file, "foo (copy).txt" is created.

This is what happens in list view:
* The cursor changes to the copy cursor (plus sign) when Ctrl+dragging.
* When you drop the file to the same window, nothing happens.
* When you drop the file to the same folder open in another window, nothing 
happens.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Description changed:
