# Ubuntu 26.04 fixes trash dialog bug that defaulted to cancel

**[omg\! ubuntu\!](https://daily.dev/sources/omgub)** · 2 min read · 6 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is receiving a fix for a Nautilus (Files) bug where the trash emptying confirmation dialog had its button focus accidentally swapped, making 'Cancel' the default focused button instead of 'Delete'. This meant pressing Enter no longer confirmed file deletion but cancelled it instead. GNOME developers confirmed the flip was unintentional, and a fix has landed upstream and been packaged for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS in the proposed branch. It is expected to ship with the 26.04.1 LTS point release in August.
