Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Whenever nautilus shows up an error dialog (which I believe are modal), all further interaction with nautilus is blocked. So if I try, for example, going to a different workspace (I currently use four of them) and click a desktop icon, I can't because the modal error dialog is still on my other workspace waiting for me to close/OK it.
To reproduce:
- Go to Workspace 1 and start a network file copy using two nautilus windows for example, accessing a samba share
- Now disconnect network cable to generate a net copy error.
- An error message will be shown. Please do not confirm not close it.
- Go to Workspace 2 and try to open one of your desktop icons. It is not possible due to nautilus blocking input on the above modal error message dialog.
IMHO this should not happen. I think modality is OK for the window(s) involved in the file copy, but not for the whole nautilus managed desktop stuff.
