ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Hmm, I cannot reproduce this bug with Neon Unstable Edition. Does this happen with any folders, e.g. if you move ~/Downloads/test to ~/test, does the pop-up also appear?
Comment 2 techxgames 2020-05-01 19:58:07 UTC
Tried that and it won't work.  Then I remembered that ~/Music is a symlink to /home/HDD/$USER/Music.

That's when it didn't work

Files and directories can't copy to symlink directory

The only way it'll work is if I go DIRECTLY to the directory.

When I tried forcing it, the symlink got deleted, and I had to redo it.
