Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I right click on a file or directory, click "copy", then right click on a "location" on the left, like my home directory or desktop, and there's no "paste" option.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Seriously? Did you read the bug? In what way were those steps for reproducing the problem, expected behavior, and encountered behavior, not entirely clear?

1: Specific actions for reproducing the problem:

Click Places.
Click Home Folder.
Right click anything in your home folder - any file or folder.
Click Copy.
On the left, under Places, right click Desktop, or Documents, or Downloads, whatever.
Notice that there is no "Paste" in the dropdown.

2: The behavior I expect, obviously, is a "Paste" option in the dropdown menu of "Places" in nautilus.

3: The behavior I actually encountered is no "Paste" option in the dropdown menu.

Just reproduced on Maverick:

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick

yes, but this bug seems specific to the "places" mode of the sidebar, it doesn't happen in the mode displaying the filesystem, your description mentioning only "location", I can confirm it with your new description which mentions "under places", thanks for the update!

summary: - Can't paste to a location
+ Sidepane locations' context menu should have a "paste" entry

You're right, I used the wrong word. And I'm not familiar enough with nautilus to know there are different sidebar modes. Sorry I was unclear.
