Public bug reported:
When copying files, a progress indicator button appears in the toolbar
(round "cake" diagram). It also opens a popover that lists all file
operations with a progress bar each.
Unfortunately the popover 1) covers a huge part of the window, 2) it is
opened on all nautilus windows on all workspaces, 3) the progress
popover does not close on its own when the operations are completed
(circle diagram shows full, but does not disappear) and 4) the unity
launcher icon and alt-tab switcher continue displaying the full progress
bar.
Furthermore, the unconscious need to remove what covers your sight
seduces the user to click the nearest "X" to close the popover. However,
the "X" aborts file operations leading to corrupted, incompletely copied
files. The correct way is to toggle the progress button. However, the
toggle-off action is unintuitive because the user did not manually
toggle it on.
Expected behavior:
Popover window opens when the user clicks the progress indicator button, and it
only opens on the current workspace. After file operations complete, it closes
on its own and the progress bar on the launcher icon disappears.
Actual behavior:
Popover window opens on all nautilus windows. After file operations complete,
they do not close.
