Version: 1.99 (using Devel) OS: Linux The most useless message of all times has now become a modal dialog interrupting you. If you need the message, fine, but have it in a status bar as before but not interrupting the user :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Drag a folder and drop it onto itself Actual Results: A message “Sorry, you cannot drop a folder on itself“ appears interrupting you Expected Results: Do nothing.
I agree of course but cannot reproduce the issue on master: No message box is interrupting the flow (currently no message is shown at all, which is a known regression). I'll leave this issue open in the meaning of "a message should be shown in the statusbar".
Ha, I could reproduce the issue now: It only occurs if the Details View is enabled :-)
I can also reproduce in Icons View, but only if more than one folder is dragged and then dropped on one of the selected folders.

@Kai Uwe: The commit message might be missleading - the error message is shown in the statusbar as suggested by you :-)
