Bug Description

When using Luna, I can move any file by drag and drop over breadcrumbs. At Freya, Files duplicates the file

I can confirm. What happens is actually pretty weird. When you drag the file over the breadcrumb is as if said file has already been copied to the target location, so much so that a dialog pops in asking you if you want to replace or rename the new file.

At rev 1713, the file is moved into the breadcrumb folder as expected (unless the path contains a link to another filesystem in which case it may be copied depending on where in the path you drop it, but the cursor overlay always indicates "copy" not "move" so this bug is not entirely fixed.
