1. Open some archive on a flash drive
2. Start copying files from that archive
3. Switch from copy queue to MC.

Result: file list remains empty (see pic) until copy is finished.

Is it a bug?

Not sure. I have not seen it. But it might depend on the archive and the size of it. and how it is unpacked.
(Unpack of archive from menu, Copy using unpack plugin, browse into and select and unpack. or other way.. there are many way to start a unpack.)

Did you force a refresh of the archive while unpacking ?

I think it is because the zip is locked. because something else is using it.

Archive is about 17Mb, unpack by copying files from inside the archive (enter the archive, select files and copy to target panel)

You probably did something that triggered so that the cache got invalidated and rescan of the zip file. And while unpacking the unpack process does not allow any other to mess with the archive while it has it. Because it can leads to strange errors.
