Public bug reported: Oh, boy; this involves several systems.
Experienced in QEMU UI (Virtual Machine Manager). Guest OS (Windows) was running, tried to add "Add hardware"→"USB Host Device"→USB drive. Expected result: Guest OS (Windows) sees new USB device. Actual result: Some window flickering (apparently several things happening) and after that a Nautilus window opens and the drive is mounted in Ubuntu instead. On the second attempt, results otherwise similar expect three (3) Nautilus windows open.
