Happens to me on a fresh install of 16.04.1. The progress dialogue was there until I hit Show Desktop - no keyboard shortcuts bring it back - right-click launcher in Unity panel and "Show Copy Dialogue" does absolutely nothing - I do not have an arrow-in-folder app-indicator on the top panel - nothing listed here or and web pages I've looked at. The only way I know it is still copying is that in the Unity launcher there is a small progress-bar across it, and if I bring up Properties for the target folder I can briefly see the number of files increase.
I really hoped this would have been fixed by now - this problem has plagued my brother since 12.04, and is one of the main reasons I ended up going KDE. But I figured I'd give Unity another shot on my new PC with a fresh install, and I'd really like to stick with it (but having no visible file operation progress basically kills it for me). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/887821 Title: "Show copy dialog" right click launcher entry doesn't work (on nautilus copy) Status in Unity: Fix Released Status in Unity 5.0 series: Won't Fix Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nautilus source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in unity source package in Precise: Invalid Bug description: Impact: the nautilus copy dialog don't get properly focussed by unity Test Case: - log into an unity session - copy a not too small file (so you have time to interact with the copy dialog) - minimize the copy dialog - right click on the corresponding unity-launcher's icon, and pick "show copy dialog" -> the dialog should be displayed Regression testing: Check that there is no focus issue with that dialog and the launcher ------ While copying a large (8 gig) file across an SMB network, I minimized it. The right click on the Nautilus Unity bar showed a "Show copy dialog" item. Clicking on that item did nothing. The only way to get the dialog back up was to open one of the two minimized Nautilus windows and then minimize the one on top. After that minimize, then the copy dialog was displayed on top of the other Nautilus window. I couldn't find any way to get the copy dialog back on screen without clicking around somewhat aimlessly displaying and minimizing Nautilus windows until it appeared. The "Show copy dialog" right-click menu appeared to have no affect.
