unmounting a tab/pane in nautilus closes window not tab/pane

[Ross Nye]

Binary package hint: nautilus

If you unmount something that is open in a tab in (the same?) nautilus window the entire window closes instead of just closing that tab.

Scenario. I have a sftp bookmarked. I open that.
Press F3 for a new pane or ctrl-t for a new tab - the same thing happens regardless.
Click on Desktop in the Side Pane - making the new tab/pane show my Desktop
Click the little unmount/eject icon for the mounted volume (sftp).

Instead of closing the tab/pane for the (sftp) bookmark and leaving Nautilus displaying my Desktop the entire window closes.

Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04

Hi Ross,

I can confirm this bug.

To reproduce the bug:
1. open nautilus.
2. Select File->Connect to Server. This will open a "Connect To Server" window.
3. Under "Server Type", choose entry to connect to a server you are allowed and fill in required information, e.g.: host, login name, etc...
4. Click on the "Connect" button. A new window appear.
5. Press F3 or ALT-T to open a new tab in the nautilus browser.
6. In the tab menu, click on Desktop ( or any other place so that one tab is showing your server and the other tab is showing somewhere else.
7. Unmount the server by clicking on the arrow button in the tab menu.

Actual output: The entire window (nautilus browser) is closed.
Expected output: Only the tab that shows files from the server should be closed.

I noticed that this bug does not happens if let say I have mounted a CD on the machine.
So basically, if I replace steps 2-3-4 by mounting a CD, the actual output is as expected.

Therefore, I am marking this bug as confirmed.

Thank you,
David

I've also discovered that if you have the have focus on the pane you unmount then the behaviour is as expected. The pane you unmount closes and the window stays open with the other pane(s) displayed.

In other words the bug only occurs when you unmount something that is in a pane that does not have focus.
