Public bug reported:
When I right-click a desktop icon for a removable media device and
select eject, xfdesktop display a dialog message which says "Writing
data to device. There is data that needs to be written to the device
[device-label] before it can be removed. Please do not remove the media
or disconnect the drive." This message is never updated to indicate that
the flush activity has completed and that the device can be removed (I
once waited several days to see if it would eventually change). It
can't possibly take that long to flush the data to a thumb drive. The
only remotely related bug report I found was a "wont fix" for a
complaint that the message was too verbose. I don't care how long the
message is; I just want to be told when it's safe to remove the device.
Release of Ubuntu: 12.04 LTS
Version of xfdesktop4: 4.8.3-2ubuntu7
What I expected to happen: to be told when I can remove the media
What happened instead: I was told permanently not to remove the media
** Affects: xfdesktop4 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
