Thanks for the report.

• Is the issue only with permanent delete or also moving to bin?
• Any difference of you try with the keyboard or the context menu?
• Does the delete confirmation dialog appear?
• Is the delete confirmation dialog enabled in Files settings?

Normal delete or moving to bin has no issue; only the permanent delete has this issue.
Both keyboard and context menu while holding shift does nothing after confirming to delete. Delete confirmation dialog does appear. Yes it is enabled.

Here's what the bug is like for me.

In latest preview build version: 2.2.4.0 OS Version: 10.0.22000.652 Shift + Trash Can icon click does not pre-fill the "Permanent Delete" checkbox.

After the file is deleted, and the operation is done, I open the Operation list on the top right, click Clear, and after clearing all operations sucessfully, the operations popup window stays open, empty, instead of closing automatically :)

Is this still an issue in 2.3.3.0?

[carlosvsilva]

Yes happens often.

Edit: what I reported happens often, as for success of the syscall never had trouble.

Asking @yaichenbaum for approval.
