Bug Description

How to regenerate:
1. Copy some big files so that copy takes some time.
2. During copy in progress try to run another copy/paste operation.

Result: Nothing happens. Mouse click and keyboard shortcut both doesn't work. After finishing the first copy you can continue another copy/paste operation.

At the moment, pasting files is deliberately inhibited in a particular view if there are already files in the process of being pasted into that view. This should not prevent files being pasted into another view but I'll check it out.

I have just tried this using FIles 0.2.4 and a USB stick.

There was no problem initiating two simultaneous drag and drop copies from on folder to another on the USB stick. The progress window showed two progress bars.

However, using Copy/Paste via the context menu the second paste did not work while the first paste was in progress, even though the context menus appeared OK. After the first paste finished you could paste into the same folder again from the clipboard.

If it works with drag/drop there seems no reason it cannot be made to work with copy/paste as well.
