Pressing eject button in Gnome Files displays message that internal DVD-ROM drive can be removed

[Alex Jones]

Pressing the eject button (in the Gnome Files user interface, not the physical button on the drive) for an internal SATA DVD-ROM drive causes a message to appear that the drive can be removed. After this, the drive is no longer accessible from within Gnome Files until the computer is rebooted.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Could you try if that's still an issue for you in newer versions?
