It has already been fixed upstream, as you can see here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1265 . The fix is included in GNOME 43, which is included in Ubuntu 22.10.
Note that this bug only affects the X11 version of Nautilus, so if you'd like to stay on 22.04 the only solution is to switch to Wayland. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues #1265 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1265 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853784 Title: Format button has no effect when I right click a USB and select Format Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Whenever I boot up ubuntu and attempt to format a plugged-in or mounted USB, the Format button has no effect when clicked on; not even an error message. If there is an error, Ubuntu should let me know or not allow me to format by disabling to format option. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up Ubuntu on the hard disk with a live-usb of ubuntu plugged in (this will be the USB to attempt to format) 2. Log in and open Files 3. Right-click the USB and select "Format" Expected Results: Either the Format menu appears, an error message appears if I am unable to format the disk, or the Format button is disabled. Actual Results: Files allows the format button to be clicked, but nothing happens when it is clicked on.
