Description

For some time now I have been observing errors when copying, moving and renaming files. Finally, I was able to establish that such errors occur when I work with files that are in directories or packages that are, or are contained, directly or indirectly, in a directory that is a symbolic link to another directory. My development environment is Windows 10, and the links were created using MKLINK. The easiest way to reproduce the error is by copying and pasting a class in the same package (that meets the conditions stated before). For example, when copying class Klass I get a file named Klass_1 that contains a class that is still named Klass.
