Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus-sendto

when i try to send a file over bluetooth to my phone using Nautilus's "send to" feature, the file ends up corrupted.

tested with my usb bluetooth dongle with multiple different phones. sending from command line with obexftp or using "browse phone" then copying the file works fine without corruption.

(also, WHAT THE F*** is up with launchpad bug reporting? i tried for half hour to find a "report bug" link, then gave up and did a bunch of non-obvious steps to find out what is the owner of the "application exhibiting the bug", so that i could use ubuntu-bug to report. don't you guys have a issue screening team so that the users can simply report the damn bug on "ubuntu" and be on their happy way?)

i created a file that contains bytes 0-255 repeating over and over, then transferred the file to the phone with nautilus and back with obexftp. the corruption is clearly visible.

corrupted file. it seems that nautilus is leaving out chunks of the original, or maybe restarting from beginning
