Nautilus file operation progress window cannot be activated with the Launcher

[Dmitry Kann]

This is somewhat opposite to Bug #784804 (perhaps inflicted by its "fix").

If there's a file operation window showing eg. file copy progress, there's no way to activate it except Alt+Tab. It isn't present in the indicator area, and the Nautilus launcher button only activates the Nautilus window itself.

If I close Nautilus window that spawned the file operation window, there's no button in the Launcher at all. No indicator for it either.

thank you for your bug report, do you minimize the dialog or just alt-tab to something else and then can't go back to it?

[Dmitry Kann (yktooo)]

Whatever. If it became inactive and obscured by another window, there's no way to see it again (except minimizing all other windows). If the parent Nautilus window is closed, the File Operation window cannot be reached even by Alt+Tab (it doesn't show up).

not happening here. is that always the case? try it right after login and see if you can reproduce the issue and let us know.

[Dmitry Kann (yktooo)]

Yes it is - see the attached screenshot. There's a file copy operation running, but no Launcher button and no indicator.

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

Hi there.
Is this bug fixed? I'm suffering the same inconvenience as this.

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

New nautilus has not this window anymore, so we can say this is invalid at this point.
