Strange Paths shown in Thunar after using a link, they show how I got there

Asked by Adalbert Hanßen

This question pertains to Xubuntu Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with current kernel 4.4.0-116-generic x86_64.

I have made a link to the frequently used public account of another user.

I put this link on my desktop (in a German Xubuntu: Senden an Desktop).

When I use this link, a new Thunar window opens and shows the way from my desktop to that place: The path shown tells about the way how I got there. I would prefer if it would show the description from the root in the file system (the UNC path), rather than the way how I got there.

If use Ctl-C after this on a file, it depends on the way how I use the clipboard then. If I paste it to a mousepad-window or Shift-paste it to a LibreOffice document, the path to the file gets pasted. But this path contains the way how I got there!

*How can I achieve this?*
