[Bug 42761] Re: delete and shift-delete on a read-only volume

[Tormod Volden]

** Summary changed:

- shift-delete does nothing on a removable volume
+ delete and shift-delete on a read-only volume

** Description changed:

  On a normal volume, "delete" puts thing in Trash and shift-delete really
- deletes. On a removable volume, "delete" really deletes. However when
- you try shift-delete, you would expect it to really delete here also.
- But nothing happens - no reaction to the key press.
+ deletes. On a read-only volume, "delete" brings up the same warning
+ about really deleting*, which of course will fail. When you try shift-
+ delete, you would expect the same warning. But nothing happens - no
+ reaction to the key press.
  
  Thus can be really confusing, especially if you have the habit of using
  shift-delete most of the time.
+ 
+ *I guess this is a known bug: it should rather warn that the file can
+ not be deleted.
