Bug Description

My OS is Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
OS type is 64-bit
When I want empty the trash bin:
I right click on the TRASH icon and select "Empty the rubbish bin".
A display comes up the says "Empty all items from the Rubbish Bin ?" and I select "Empty Rubbish Bin".

The next display that SOMETIMES comes up for a moment confirms the process has been done. When this display shows then shortly after that the indicator on the icon show she Trash is empty. When the said display does not appear the "empty" indicator DOES NOT appear.I have not been able to that this behaviour is related to certain apps that are open when I empty the Trash bin.

Whether the "empty" indicator works or not the trash is always emptied BUT you have to open the Trash to see that it has been emptied.

I have made screen recordings showing what I have been experiencing.
