I can confirm this. For me "savely remove" worked in Kubuntu Dapper with kde-353 but not anymore in Kubuntu Dapper nor in Edgy with kde-355.
A possible work-around is to "sudo umount" the drive in the console, because there you can be sure that all files have been saved properly, when the cursor is back again. -- "safely remove" isnt safe https://launchpad.net/bugs/70417 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
