Starting Plasma 5.6 I notice that Device Notifier icon stays in the system tray even when you remove the external device. I have to click at least twice somewhere in the system tray. The opposite also happens that is device will be mounted but no device notifier icon/notification will be triggered. I think you have to force system tray refresh for Device notification widget to work properly. Reproducible: Always Please see the attached images.
Created attachment 98934 [details] konsole showing no attachment device notifier widget visible
Created attachment 98935 [details] dolphin showing mounted drive but no device notifier
Noticed the same just yesterday, confirmed.
Git commit 6c0b1e542c19e00e045074a01e4daf992ec59e56 by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 13/06/2016 at 08:10. Pushed by broulik into branch 'master'. [Device Notifier] Be more declarative Instead of having a bunch of handlers in various places messing with various settings, try to use declarative bindings where possible. * Remove separate passive timer, instead re-use the pendingDelegateRemoval property which has its own timer. This way, when a device is unmounted, device notifier stays active until the notification has cleared, however, when the device is yanked out manually, it disappears right away * Don't break binding on Plasmoid.active to ensure its state is always proper depending on whether a device or not is present (the linked bug) * Create tooltip declaratively rather than imperatively FIXED-IN: 5.7.0 Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D1793 M +0 -9 applets/devicenotifier/package/contents/ui/FullRepresentation.qml M +22 -20 applets/devicenotifier/package/contents/ui/devicenotifier.qml http://commits.kde.org/plasma-workspace/6c0b1e542c19e00e045074a01e4daf992ec59e56
