I have an encrypted SD card. When mounted, I am prompted for the password. If the password is entered correctly, then nautilus will open a window displaying the SD card contents.

If I make a mistake typing the password then the SD is not decrypted and no window opens. This is normal. However, when I do successfully enter the password, nautilus opens a window for each unsuccessful attempt on top of the correct one.

e.g. Insert SD card:
- Prompt for password: enter wrong password (1)
-Second try: enter wrong password (2)
-Third try: enter correct password (3)
-Three nautilus windows open

I would expect that only one window would open, and that each unsuccessful attempt would reset any command to open a window.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you still see that problem in newer nautilus versions? How did you encrypt the card?

It doesn't seem to be a problem anymore in Ubuntu 18.04 or later.
The card was encrypted by formatting it through Ubuntu.
