[Joachim Jungner <173343@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

New bug reporter of old bug.

Selecting 'Move to Trash' removes the file completely, and it is not in
the trash can.  The removed file is also flagged as 'Missing' by
Rhythmbox. (That is also a bit strange.)

It is reproducible both from playlist view and 'Music' view.

Basically two problems:
1. The user interface itself: It is far too easy to accidentally click 'Move to Trash', when you really just want to remove it from the playlist. This is in part exacerbated by the fact that there is no (visible) keyboard shortcut for doing the safe thing, so you _have_ to use the menu with the closely placed menu items.

2. Move to trash is apparently affected by a bug where the file is
removed permanently, or at least moved to an unknown location (not
trash).

Will create a new user and see if I can reproduce the problem again.

Title:
  Moving files to trash results in a permanent delete

Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rhythmbox

  I am using Rhythmbox 0.11.2, recently I selected a song and
  accidentally chose move to trash after right clicking. The file was
  removed and NOT placed in the trash can. That is, it was permanently
  deleted from Rhythmbox and and my hard drive. How do I make the files
  go to my trash can. Hence, in the event of another accidental move to
  trash, I am able to recover the file.?
