nautilus file copy dialog does not always close properly on completion

[Rocko]

The new 'Moving/Copying X files to..." dialog in nautilus doesn't always close properly on completion (although the text does change to 'Moved/Copied').

When this happens, the filled-in circle in nautilus' title bar stays on and the nautilus icon in the unity launcher continues to indicate that an operation is still in progress, even though it in fact complete. If you close nautilus and re-open it, the 'Moved/Copied' dialog appears at the top of the screen, detached from the nautilus window (see attached image).

When it does work properly, after a few seconds the filled-in circle in nautilus disappears, the move/copy dialog disappears, and the unity launcher icon resets to its non-copying mode.

I don't know exactly what makes this happen, but it occurs reasonably frequently.

thanks, that looks like bug #1610200

The disembodied file copy popup does look like bug #1610200 - is there perhaps a separate issue in this bug, though, regarding how the copy indicator does not always disappear automatically a few seconds after the copy completes?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could be indeed, is that similar to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768417 ?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

On my config, the 'Moved/Copied' dialog is not detached from the nautilus windows, but it remains displayed on all nautilus windows, including those I open after the copy/move operation is finished.
The copy bar also remains on the Unity icon.
It only disappears when I close all nautilus windows opened. Then, I can open new nautilus window and the copy/move dialog doesn't appear anymore.

This problem seems to appear when I copy many files in one time, or big files.

I fail to see how this is a duplicate of bug #1610200, which has been fixed in gtk+-3.0 - 3.20.9-1ubuntu1. This still happens for me on Ubuntu 17.04 / gtk 3.22.

What happens for me is that the copy progress pop-over opens in all nautilus windows and once the copy operation finishes, the Unity icon for "Files" shows the copy progress overlay until I close the pop-over in *all* nautilus windows (which can be tricky to track when you have several external devices).

This may actually be a duplicate of bug #1634939 "Copy progress popover should close on completion".
