Pasting from Nautilus to editor pastes the file name and not the path

Issue Type: Bug

I recently re-installed vscode to the latest version. My OS is Ubuntu 20.04 and it is up to date.

For some reason, I can’t copy the path of files from nautilus/filemanger and paste it directly into vscode.

Pasting anywhere else in the system works fine. Also, pasting into the integrated terminal of vscode works fine also.

Pasting into scripts I write doesn’t work.

Please note that this issue only happens if the source is the file/manager (nautilus)

same for me. Before finding this issue, I opened a topic on stackoverflow:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72247775/copy-paste-filepath-from-nautilus-files-in-ubuntu-does-not-work-anymore

In my case only the filename gets copied. Everywhere else it works.

This is how we read text: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/376af084af1ef6ebf35cc1176dca84768aaf42d7/src/vs/platform/clipboard/browser/clipboardService.ts#L133

Maybe we can use one of the other read methods to mimic this behavior.
