Description S. Christian Collins 2012-08-10 19:21:53 UTC

If I open the device notifier and click the eject button for my USB flash drive, the device notifier simply disappears.  I can only see the message "The following device can now be safely removed" if I manually re-open the device notifier.  Otherwise, I have no idea that it is now safe to remove the device.  Perhaps a notification would be better than hiding this information at the bottom of a disappearing device notifier window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in USB flash drive & mount it
2. Open device notifier via its system tray icon
3. Click the eject button for the USB flash drive
Actual Results:  
The device notifier window disappears with no feedback to the user regarding the device removal action.

Expected Results:  
The notification to the user should be clear and not hidden.  Popping up a notification would be clearer than hiding the message at the bottom of the device notifier window.
