I'm using a fully updated KDEneon 18.04 install.
I noticed this yesterday and saw it again today on Neon but haven't yet verified that Kubuntu does the same;
When copying/moving large files the notification icon in the system tray looks normal (a "1" with a spinning edge, etc.) but if you open the Notifications window, there's little if any updating of progress. For example, this morning I moved 10 files about 1GB each and the notifier stayed on file one with no updating of bytes copied and no updating of seconds remaining. Then it suddenly jumped to file 3 then 4 then stayed there for a long time, then after some minutes, jumped to six. I watched it periodically through the entire move and once during file 9, it showed the bytes remaining (basically the third line of info normally displayed) for a few seconds then went away
During this, Dolphin becomes unresponsive for a bit. First, I moved the window and the frame moved but the interior was blank. A few seconds later, the window returned to it's normal appearance. Then I tried to initiate a directory change and nothing happened for several seconds (like 10) then the window updated. After that, Dolphin returned to a normal response time.
I checked memory and was not swapping - I had like 12GB of RAM free - so it's not a memory thing. My assumption is Dolphin is not sending updates to notifier.
Can anyone confirm or refute this? I'm going to check my Kubuntu 18.04 install next. In case it's relevant, the copy/move was from this PC to my server via NFS.
