Just noticed this on 12.04 too. Looks like a difficult issue, because there are some situations where closing the window seems to make sense, e.g. if the window automatically opened when USB/optical media was inserted. OTOH, if I open a nautilus window by hand, double-click a DAV share, then "eject" the share, closing seems the wrong thing to do.
Would it be possible to keep track of the reason the window was originally opened, and change the behaviour based on that? -- 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/995189 Title: Ejecting network drive causes nautilus to close Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is with amd64 12.04 with the latest updates. I have a windows file share that I can mount using nautilus. It shows up properly on the left bar. If I click the eject icon next to the mounted drive, nautilus ejects the drive and then closes without any error. I looked at the nautilus icon on the unity launchbar and realized that nautilus just doesn't close that window but the entire application. I consider this a bug. It should simply eject the drive without closing the nautilus window and the nautilus application.
