I would like to comment that the bug is still in hardy, but the problem
is it will not even open up the Floppy drive, as well as USB drives and
MP3 Players as well.
I need to manually mount them in order to make all these work.
My fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

The issue is fixed in hardy, using the browser mode a duplicate view is
opened but that's an another issue

A two year old bug should be fixed already, I think... And can we make
floppy auto detect? So we won't need to right clickmount or right
clickunmount?

I tried with Hardy Alpha 4 and it is even worse.
Now double clicking on floppy icon in Places-Computer does nothing.
I mean no activity in floppy drive, absolutely nothing, and there is'nt
mount option in right click menu.

A workaround could be to mount floppy first right-clicking and
selecting mount, and then double click on mounted floppy.
I agree with you about this bug, but this workaround is the best I
found out until now. (not so good anyway)

I found out this:
1) Double clicking on floppy icon in Computer, it opens a root directory (/)
window and floppy is mounted.
BUT
2) If I doesn't double click to floppy icon for the first, but instead I
mount the floppy with Right click-mount, THEN when I double click to
floppy it

I don't know if you all know, but I want to point out that this bug is a
REGRESSION from Dapper. As far as I remember, in Dapper the floppy
worked fine. Perhaps this could help correcting the bug. Also, I see
many italian reporters here. I wonder if it is only an accident

If it was true (I agree with you but it's not that the point) Ubuntu

Such comment are misplaced in the bug tracker, we try to solve technical
issues. Nobody claimed that floppy support is useless or not to be
removed,
Nowadays most of users use usb stick anyway, you can get a 1Go key for
the price of 10 floppy disks, is there a compelent reason to still use
those?
That may be true where you live, probably a rich and developed country.
But that's not the case here in Brasil.
But the price is not the issue
If it was true (I agree with you but it's not that the point) Ubuntu

You shouldn't even see the floppy icon so. no floppy, no bug.

By the way, a lot of people, at least here in Italy, have a lot of old
things stored in floppy disk (unfortunately).
As long as PC are still sold with floppy I think it should be nice supported.

I think that the Importance shouldn't be related just to the number of

I know a lot of people using Ubuntu (newbies) that have this problem, really
annoying for them,

its already mounted, he will be given an error message, saying that
pmount fails because the floppy is already mounted.
After all this, there is no easy way for the user to umount the floppy
