Public bug reported:

When copying or moving a large file, Nautilus opens a window with the
progress of the operation. If the user were to pull a larger window
forward, that dialog cannot be accessed through Alt+tab or the Unity
bar. The user would have to move the obscuring window out of the way in
order to pull the progress dialog forward.

How to recreate:
1. Copy or move a large file. I recommend copying or moving to or from an SD 
card, USB key, or network device because they tend to be much slower than the 
local hard disk.
2. When the copy or move progress dialog appears, move a larger or maximized 
window over the dialog so it is obscured. Alternately, just click a different 
window to select it.
3. Click the Nautilus icon in the Unity bar, or press Alt+tab.

Expected behavior: The copy/move dialog will be brought to the front.
Actual behavior: The last used normal (non-dialog) Nautilus window will be 
brought to the front.
Frequency: Every time.

Nautilus version: 3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4
Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Linux kernel version: 4.4.0-21-generic
Architecture: x86_64
