Okay, I have finally managed to create a test case.

The attached 7z-archive contains a folder called "files" with three sub-folders called "folder-1", "folder-2" and "folder-3". Each of those folders contain 1500 short text files. That is a total of 4500 text files.

To produce the mentioned message box, please make sure that either "p7zip" or "p7zip-full" is installed. Then, download the attached 7z-archive to any folder, e.g. the desktop, and uncompress it using the context-menu and the respective "extract here" menu item. This will result in the folder "files" to be created on the desktop.

Next, use the context-menu and the respective "create archive" menu item on that folder to compress it again. Choose a different name and ".7z" for the archive's type. The expected but irritating message box should appear after archive creation.
