TBeholder, thanks for the follow up. The way I was going about it was
not an apples-to-apples test of what was originally reported against in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/95854/comments/4
. I think the edited Bug Description will make it clear to all the scope
of the issue.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: nautilus
  
  1) lsb_release -rd
- Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
- Release:	14.04
+ Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
+ Release:	15.04
  
  2) apt-cache policy nautilus
  nautilus:
-   Installed: 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4
-   Candidate: 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4
+   Installed: 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu2
+   Candidate: 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu2
    Version table:
-  *** 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4 0
-         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
+  *** 1:3.14.2-0ubuntu2 0
+         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
-      1:3.10.1-0ubuntu8 0
-         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
  
  3) What is expected to happen is when one executes the following in a terminal:
  cd ~/Desktop
  mkdir test
  cd
  touch test
  
  then uses Nautilus to copy the file test to the Desktop, it does not allow this, just like it won't when using cp in a terminal:
  cp test Desktop/
  sudo cp test Desktop/
  cp: cannot overwrite directory ‘Desktop/test’ with non-directory
  
  or if one was using Windows.
  
  4) What happens instead is one gets a prompt noting:
  File Conflict
  Replace folder "test"?
  A folder with the same name already exists on "desktop".
  Replacing it will remove all files in the folder.
  Select a new name for the destination
  Apply this action to all files
  Cancel Skip Replace
  
  and if one accidentally hit the button Replace, the folder with all of
  its contents are permanently deleted, and replaced with the file.
