--- Comment #10 from freddykul at gmx.com ---
I just ran into this problem after copying data from one hard drive partition
(sda1) to another partition on the same physical hard drive (sda3).

It's not that I was moving the data between partitions, but when working with
the data (image processing), I move the processed images to an "already used"
folder to avoid duplication.  This still works fine when images were on the
primary/boot partition, but it refuses to move the items to the "already used"
folder when I drag and drop them.

There's no remote issue, no cross-hardware or cross-partition problem, Thunar
simply doesn't move files on auxiliary storage the way it does when they're on
a system partition.  This is a fairly new regression, I've been using XFCE for
over a decade, and I've never run into this before, although I can't say that
it's brand new, as I just created the new partition yesterday.  

One thing that might be an unusual factor is that I setfacl the partition,
instead of adding it to fstab.

Also worth noting, Shift-Drag-Drop does work as expected, but oddly, "Move to
Trash" permanently deletes it by default, instead of sending the file to Trash,
so if the point of this behavior is to protect data, this is a significant
failure point.

Thunar -- 1.8.4
Manjaro -- Fully updated (rolling distro)
Linux Kernel -- 5.0.9
Intel QuadCore
16GB RAM

Not a programmer, but dabble from time to time, so let me know how I can
provide more detailed info, as this is a pretty painful for animators, editors,
and anyone else who has to stay organized to keep from drowning from a flood of
incoming multimedia.

Also, thanks everyone for making a useful DE that isn't dumbed down or bloated
to heck. :)
