So...does anyone have any idea when this will be fixed? This is a pretty significant usability bug for Unity, as you can no longer paste commands to run from instructions on the Internet, or copy and paste a file name to, say, edit text file by running "gedit /home/username/x/whatever/file.conf". Anything too complicated to easily type by hand now has to be run in a terminal, or done via slower GUI methods (launch Nautilus, navigate to the file, right-click, open with..., scroll through list, select application, click on ok...vs copy, paste, enter...man, people who insist on using a GUI for everything must really enjoy manual labor!) What with this being Unity's big debut and all hype/controversy surrounding it, I'm surprised a flaw as glaring and annoying as this wasn't fixed before Natty's release...
