SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug a USB pendrive into a USB prot
2. Click on the SUB connector icon that appears in the Tray area (Disks and
Devices)
3. Click "Mount and Open" next to the device name
4. Close the folder window/tab that opened in Dolphin
5. Go back to Disks and Devices and click "Safely remove"
EXPECTED RESULT
It shouldn't take long to safely remove the device in the first place
(especially since I didn't do anything with it), but if it does for a
legitimate reason, the UI should behave nicely
OBSERVED RESULT
The status text belos the device name now says "Removing..." and a spinning
icon appears on the right.
Sometimes, the text then changes to "Don't unplug yet, files are still being
transferred" or something like that (I'm quoting from memory, that's probably
not the exact wording), then the spinning icon sometimes freezes. Sometimes
this happens still at the "Removing..." stage
The icon of the "Disks and Devices" widget becomes a checkmark, which makes no
sense whatsoever
The widget stops responding, it doesn't close when you click outside of it,
when you explicitly click the "<-" arrow, nor when you click the down arrow at
the bottom, and **SOMETIMES THE ENTIRE SYSTEM** stops responding for a while,
which is why I'm marking this as "major".
I tried to take a screenshot with the keyboard shortcut for Spectacle once
while this was happening; it did nothing and a minute later I got an error
saying it failed to launch Spectacle - that's how unresponsive the system was.
After several seconds to one minute, the operation will complete and the system
will begin responding normally again. Sometimes, a few of the keyboard or mouse
actions that you attempted while the system was frozen will now have their
delayed effects all at once, which is another reason for setting the severity
to "major" and why you might consider changing it to "critical".
With a given pendrive of mine in particular (which happens to be a bootable
Memtest86 iso image) this is now happening almost systematically to me (but not
quite).
Note that whether or not there are actual legitimate reasons for the actual
"safe removal" operation to take a longer than expected time (which I don't
think is the case, but who knows, the usb memory stick itself might be faulty),
the UI should at all time remain responsive and never, ever, under any
circumstances, should the responsive of the entire system be affected.
