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.
