Description Gabor Kelemen 2009-05-07 13:00:33 UTC 
When copying a file to a volume with less free space than necessary, a window pops up with this message:
#: ../libnautilus-private/nautilus-file-operations.c:2731
msgid ""
"There is not enough space on the destination. Try to remove files to make "
"space."

Now, the window has a retry button, which makes the user think "I remove something, press Retry and the operation will continue". However, the window is modal, and makes it impossible to use any other Nautilus windows to make some room for the new files.
