[Alexandre Laurent <1322925@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can confirm this problem affects me as well on several computers
running 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 that have been clean installed (not upgraded
from previous versions). I usually work with several Nautilus windows
that each have several tabs open in them, spread on multiple workspaces.
I move around and copy or cut and paste, rename files, etc.

I mostly use keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl+T to open new tabs, Ctrl+L to
access the location bar, Ctrl+A to select all files, Shift or Ctrl +
arrows to make selections, Ctrl+C/X/V to cut/copy paste, Alt+Tab to
switch between windows, Alt+Shift + number to select tab, Ctrl+Alt +
arrows to choose workspaces, Ctrl+Logo + arrows to arrange windows on
screen, etc.

When the problem occurs, seemingly randomly, shortcuts local to the
currently open tabs stop working (Ctrl+C/X/V, Ctrl+A). Global shortcuts
and shortcuts local to the encompassing windows keep working (Alt+Tab,
Ctrl+Alt + arrows, Ctrl+Logo + arrows, Alt+Shift + number, Ctrl+L,
etc.).

Killing Nautilus (or logging off then back in) fixes the problem
temporarily. My work around is to drag and drop the files between
windows or tabs, but this is really cumbersome.

I don't remember having this problem with previous versions of Ubuntu.
