Thank you for your input. I browsed through GNOME Bugzilla bugs and found that Bug no. 530542 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/530542) was sent to the developers through GNOME Bugzilla. It got their attention and, according to comments posted under Launchpad bug (the Bugzilla entry was somewhat abandoned), was fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/530542/comments/7 " - Don't auto-close the window you initiated an unmount in (lp: #530542)"
Unfortunately, this is no longer true, since after unmounting, the window auto-closes - and now it doesn't matter if you mount through Nautilus window or any other means, the behaviour is still the same. Nautilus somehow lost its mechanism which redirects window focus to computer:///. One year ago someone filed a bug at both Launchpad and GNOME Bugzilla which was confirmed and also connected to similar (the same?) bad program behaviour. This issue was to be fixed in nautilus (1:2.29.92-0ubuntu1) (Lucid Lynx timeline) and I do remember Nautilus working correctly back then. But since few weeks the behaviour changed back to the state from before the bugfix. I am still a newbie when it comes to how Launchpad and Bugtrackers work. I would like someone to tell me if this phenomenon shouldn't be labeled as regression? And should I file a new bug entry at GNOME Bugzilla - or rather post a comment under the bug from year ago? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886327 Title: Nautilus window closes when unmounting currently explored filesystem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/886327/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
