Question about unit commands

Hi!
I am new to this game. I am using the gtk2 client.
When giving orders to a unit, for example a worker to build a road or a mine,
I see a working symbol above it. But when only selecting a working unit, the symbol
disappears and all the building progress is gone. Is there a way to avoid this?
How can I see, how much rounds are left for completion?

U can middle click on unit/tile and see progress.
When u select unit, progress is not lost yet. U can select and give the same order.
If u give another order, then in next turn progress will be lost.

There's also an option to control this: Game / Options / Local client / Interface "Clear unit orders on selection". (Defaults to being enabled; not sure why, probably because that was the historical behaviour.)
