Description Nicolò Chieffo 2009-11-04 13:58:16 UTC 
The eject icon in the places sidebar is removed too early.

THIS CAUSES DATA LOSS!!!!
Steps to reproduce:
- transfer a very big file(s) to your external drive
- immediately hit umount after the transfer is finished

The eject icon is removed immediately, so you think that the drive is ejected.
After a few seconds (usually 2-3 s, but not enough if you have your hand ready to unplug the USB drive) a window pops up and tells that some data still needs to be transferred.

In my opinion the eject icon should eventually grey out, and be removed only when it is safe to remove the disk.
