It shows the cp -R directory bug

The command cp -R  has a bug when copying.

An example:

cp -R  Downloads  Downloads

produces a recursive copying, until it reaches some recursion limits.


See the screenshot attached.


It should follow the Linux cp -R behaviour:

Create only one copy of the directory, in itself, and then quit.
