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.
I am working on this, stay tuned.
