Title:
  Can't copy/move files to the root of a mounted FAT usb drive using
  drag & drop to the tree view in Nautilus

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  1) $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
  Release:	11.04

  (But if I recall correctly, it was also an issue in Maverick and
  earlier releases)

  2) $ apt-cache policy nautilus
  nautilus:
    Installed: 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13
    Candidate: 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13
    Version table:
   *** 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13 0
          500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) I connected a USB drive in my computer that has just been formatted
  as FAT using Ubuntu. Then I open Nautilus, show the Tree view in the
  left column, open some folder and try do drag & drop a file from the
  opened folder to the item corresponding to the USB drive in the Tree
  view. I expected Nautilus to allow me to copy or move a file like
  this.

  4) Instead, Nautilus doesn't allow this. If I drag & drop over any
  other item in the Tree view it works (including sub folders of the USB
  drive). Over the root of the USB drive it doesn't. If I change from
  the Tree view to the Places view, I can drag & drop over the USB drive
  without a problem.
