(Solved) Strange feature with trash

Hi.

I am not using the trash icon on my desktop, but use the trash plugin inside panel.

I now do a left mouse click on that trash icon and thunar opens, showing the content of 'trash:///'.

I now go with the mouse cursor the thunar left column and open my home folder. Content shows up. Go with the mouse cursor on a file in my home folder and do a right mouse click. Nothing! No windows opening (open with..., copy, delete etc)

..

Now I activate the trash icon on my desktop and perform the same actions like before.

Right click and the window with possibilities pops up.(open with..., copy, delete etc)

This behavior is shown in Debian Buster and also in Testing (both up to date) and just has been confirmed in the German Debian forum.

I still have a Linux Mint 19.2 in a vbox. There I don't see a difference between trash on desktop and trash in panel.

Could that be a bug in Debian?

Re: (Solved) Strange feature with trash

What are the differences between the two versions of thunar?

Is it possibly this bug?

Re: (Solved) Strange feature with trash

Think, that is it and makes sense ...

Thunar versions I see here:

Debian Buster Thunar 1.8.4 (Xfce 4.12)

Debian Testing Thunar 1.8.9 (Xfce 4.14)

and

Linux Mint 19.2 Thunar 1.6.15 (Xfce 4.12)

Both Debians show that bug, but I did not notice, because when the trash icon is still in the panel and I do a right click on the icon,
a window pops up to empty the trash.

On Linux Mint, no bug at all.

ToZ, is that now an thunar issue or an issue with the  trash-panel-plugin?

Thank you and br - KH
