Description Behzat 2023-07-12 09:33:27 UTC 
I am not sure if this is a bug or a change in the design philosofy. If the latter is the case, seriously you must reconsider this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Cut some symlink file and paste elsewhere.

OBSERVED RESULT
Symlink files are dereferenced and originals are moved.

EXPECTED RESULT
Symlink files must not be dereferenced. Originals must not be moved. Just the symlink must be moved. That is the command the user intents to. Whether it references right or not, this is the problem of the user.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
