Public bug reported: What happens: In Nautilus, when exploring a mountable filesystem of a device (having it open in the active window/tab), unmounting this device by the unmount icon on the side panel causes whole window to close, having immediately followed unmounting. If the currently explored folder isn't the one on the filesystem that we unmount, then nothing happens to Nautilus window.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Mount a filesystem. 2. Open Nautilus and explore the content of said filesystem. 3. Unmount said filesystem, for example using the unmount icon on the side panel. 4. In the current state of things, Nautilus window will close immediately due to unmount. What should happen: After unmounting an actively explored filesystem, the window/tab should change its focus to a default element, such as computer:/// - like it was before, or perhaps /media, /home? Alternatively: Because some consider the desired behaviour as a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/23293), there should be a possibility to change this behaviour to the way the end user wants it to be - either closing the Nautilus window/tab or changing address to a default element. It is similar to how Windows 7 explorer.exe works. I personally find this annoying - I have close to twenty partitions total and I like to unmount those on which work I have currently finished without fear of closing the program itself. It is only a matter of the last few days/weeks that I experienced this behaviour. Some time ago it used to work as described in "What should happen" section.
