Bug Description

Whenever I attempt to format a USB I previous used for a live install back into a regular FAT disk, nautilus reports "gtk_widget_set_visible: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)" and then crashes.

I ran "ubuntu-bug nautilus" right after I clicked the Format button, right before the crash itself.

To reproduce the issue:
1. Insert an ubuntu live usb
2. Open Files
3. Right-click on the USB
4. Select Format
5. If the format menu appears, click the red format button

Expected Results:
Either the USB partitions are cleared and the entire disk is formatted to be FAT (preferred), or if that is not an option, Files should warn me it has a partition table and close instead of opening the Format Menu and then crashing later.

Actual Results:
Gnome-Disks alerts the USB cannot be formatted, and then nautilus crashes.
