A directory containing 10,000 1MiB files moved to another directory completes immediately. Copying takes a while, as expected, and multiple copies has the behavior you describe.

I'm experiencing the jumping to the top end of the list as well.

Some cancelled tasks say Cancelled. Other cancelled tasks look like they're paused, with their most recent state during copy frozen in time, how many files copied, and the copy performance.

There are some cosmetic bugs here. If you file a bug, I suggest filing it upstream.
