Work-around is to use the Copy file header bar button on simply drag the file onto the Terminal page, until this bug is fixed.

This bug only happens if the right-click copy file context menu item is the *first* copy method selected to copy files. If the top-bar copy button or the drag-and-drop methods are chosen first, subsequent usage of the right-click copy file context menu item will work.

This error occurs because the current directory is None. This should not be the case.

The right-click copy file context menu item does not get the current directory. Instead it relies on the previous value of current directory.
As a result, the right-click copy file context menu item may copy files to the wrong directory.

We need to set the current directory when the right-click copy file context menu item is selected.

This is done for the header-bar copy files button and for the drag-and-drop copy files function, but was missing for the right-click copy file context menu item.
