Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
hello hello, usually, in any system, it is not possible to move a file or a folder inside a file (yes, inside a file). But apparently, in Nextcloud, that is possible 🙃
Steps to reproduce
- right click on an item, then click copy/move
- when the modal appears, select the recent entry in the left menu
- wait a bit that it loads
- you now have the opportunity to move a folder inside a file 🪄
Expected behavior
Files should not appear in the Recent list
