Bug Description

Usecase / description:
Insert USB disk-on-key. It is automounted, opening a new file browser window for each mountable partition. On the left side pane, select any partition with a mouse, right click, select "eject" from the menu.
The device is unmounted / ejected all right, but the file browser window stays open.

The way it used to be in 12.04:
The device used to be unmounted / ejected just the same, the file browser windows (one for each partition) were closed.

Why it is so annoying:
I constantly use an SD-card with 8 partitions. It was really much nicer when all the windows went away the moment I had ejected the device.

This is very annoying for me also since I am testing with SDCards that have multiple partitions. Can you tell me if there is any progress about this issue? Is there a timeframe to expect an updated version with a fix for this?
