[Bug 998033] Re: Empty Trash deleted all file in home directory

 

Brian,  I have spent hours trying to understand what went wrong.  I
really have no idea if its a Cairo problem or an Ubuntu problem.  After
all, I am sure that when one middle clicks on the trash icon that Cairo
calls some Ubuntu function to delete the files.  I don't know if there
was something wrong with the thumb drive, a cross linked file or what.
But, this really did happen and I am 100% sure its not an operator
error.  The reality is that when I clicked on the trash icon to empty
it, the system deleted every file in my home directory.
