Since two or three minor versions of Opus operations that require displaying a modal dialog display also frozen progress bar window. For example if I hit delete on a file I am presented a dialog to confirm deletion. Without clicking anything, after a small delay, progress bar appears which obviously stays on 0% until I accept deletion. This produces two windows (also seen on Windows taskbar) instead of one with just a confirmation dialog. Presenting progress bar at that stage makes no sense as it will be always stuck at 0%. The same happens on rename operations, move as and all that require user input to start. That wasn't the case two or three minor versions ago. This behavior was introduced together with a problem of closing a lister causing canceling the operation. That problem was already fixed but eager progress bar displaying stayed.
Is there any way to disable this behavior and display progress bar once operation has really started?
Just for your information:
The problem still appears on latest beta but now only when related file operation involves more than one file (for example when copy-as two files or selecting two files and deleting them).
I haven't been able to reproduce this unfortunately. Would you be able to email a copy of your configuration (via Settings -> Backup & Restore) to crashdumps@gpsoft.com.au so I can try with that?

Are there any exe or dll files in your config backup? (e.g. If you have some companion utilities copied into /dopusdata/User Data then they'd be included in the backup. You'd know if you had done this, so don't worry if that doesn't mean anything to you!)
GMail won't allow any attachments that are exes or DLLs, or archives containing them (it's very annoying for developers!).
I don't think it's the attachment contents issue as it didn't pass even if I put it in encrypted 7zip.
Anyway I've send you the config using private message.
GMail also blocks encrypted archives because they can't see if there's an exe inside them. (If the backup was encrypted originally, that might also be why.)
GMail's attachment policy is pretty annoying at times, with no way to say "I know not to run random files, please don't block things".
Please note that in one of the posts above I clarified it happened only on selecting multiple files for operation.
The problem does not occur to me any more because I switched from Windows 8.1 to 10. It had to be related to that Windows version, I suppose. I'm still using the same config on my new OS (exported from Opus and imported back again) so no changes here.
