Had to use my phone to record my keyboard.

1- Copy a Desktop item.
2- Move the Desktop item to another directory.
3- Press Ctrl+V on the Desktop.

Results:
Nothing happens, unless the Context Menu is opened and closed then Ctrl+V is pressed again.

Expected results:
Ctrl+V should paste the item on the Desktop, without having to open and closing the Context Menu.

What's going on here is that the *path* to the file gets recorded internally, so if you move the file, it gets very confused.

This is sort of a "then don't do that" situation. It's possible we could handle this case, but it might be difficult.
