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
