I believe this issue still exists today in a fully updated 13.10.

GNOME nautilus 3.8.2

The copy progress window seldom or never appears on my install neither on the desktop nor in alt-tab super-1. Not on any of the four virtual desktop spaces either. The right-click show copy window (or whatever it says on English-language installs) does not do anything. This has on several occasions made me think the copying was finished so I deleted the source files and only found out about my misstake after being greeted with the "error while copying" dialog window when the file that is apparently being copied has been removed.

Interestingly enough the side-bar seems to appear and shake the file manager icon when the copying has finished, not sure how useful that is on its own though, and I don't know if that notification stays on screen if I am AFK or just looking away for a moment.

Also copying seems to be very taxing on my computer -(i7 CPU with samsung 530 SSD) the UI becomes somewhat unresponsive while copying large files to backup USB-disks. This could possibly affect the main issue of the progress window not being displayed.
