Ubuntu – Progress bar for copy disappears

16.04copynautilus

When I make long copy operations (which usually is to USB-flash memories), the progress window often disappears completely if I put it out of focus. I have tried some hints using alt/tab and wmctrl, but I can't get the progress window back.

I can see a very small grey bar on top of the corresponding launcher icon. But there is no way to terminate the copy operation or to see details.

Can I bring the copy progress window back somehow?

I use v 16.04 default setup. (I hope it is correct to use the Nautilus tag.)

This is not the most intuitive method but you can right click on the nautilus icon and then click on the "Show Copy Dialog" option.
