Same problem here.

Comment 2 Heiko Adams 2011-06-04 21:15:49 UTC

I forgot: I'm using a x86 system

Comment 3 Heiko Adams 2011-06-04 21:21:01 UTC

It seems that this is the related upstream bugzilla entry: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648658

Comment 4 Volans 2011-06-04 21:42:03 UTC

So this isn't a bug after, rather a "Linux Vista" feature... :P:P If you want to stop the user from doing something like deleting the wrong file, you stop all users from doing it. :D

Well, I don't know, but I think it was a really bad decision to stop "Del" from working. I honestly thought it was a bug!

Please, don't go "Vista"! Pleassseeee!!

NOTABUG. Upstream design decision.
To delete a file, use ctrl+delete.

Discussion whether this change is good or not should be done upstream, not downstream.
Closing.

I had the same problem. I can't delete a file by simply clicking on the DELETE button. So do you mean that it's totally normal that i need to press the Ctrl+Delete so that I can delete a file?
