cannot cancel adding files or directories to an existing archive

[cyrylm]

Binary package hint: file-roller

To reproduce, create or find any archive supported by file-roller then add some big file or directory (size doesn't matter but when it's large it helps you notice the problem) either from menu (Edit -> Add Files.../Add a Folder...) or by drag'n'dropping file(s)/folder(s) onto the archive. Then you see it's impossible to cancel the procedure by clicking 'Cancel' button.

thanks for the report, that's known upstream you can track it here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561717 ; there's multiple bugs about that on the upstream bts as well.
