Issue with "Add to clipboard" -> "Move clipboard files to here"
Hi
User is having problems moving files around with File Manager.
I've tested this myself and can replicate the issue under his account.
1. In File Manager, go to where the folder you want to copy is, tick it, click "add to clipboard".
(in this case: /domains/calfapietra.com/public_html/tmp/, ticked a folder called wordpress, add to clip)
2. In File Manager, go to the new location, and click "Move clipboard files to here"
(in this case: /domains/calfapietra.com/public_html/tmp/tmp2/, click "Move clipboard files to here")
3. Nice error messages:
Result of file move

Any ideas why it would somehow move files from a completely different path that the one "Copied to Clipboard"? Perplexing...
Thanks for any clues!
