xfburn: unmount disc error

xfce 4.16
xfburn 0.6.2-1

I have never understood why I have this problem.  Maybe you will know!

When I'm using xfburn to make a CD or DVD, and I either try to eject or insert a flash drive, xfburn starts to complain that it couldn't unmount the disc.  Why on earth would it want to unmount the disc?  A dialog box pops up, and you can click the close button, but after a little while it comes back.  After about 3 times, it just freezes up.

Re: xfburn: unmount disc error

xfburn has some code to watch for udev events and emit a signal when a block device is detected. I wonder if its errantly picking up your flash disk and emitting the VOLUME_CHANGED signal. Might be best to create a bug report.

Re: xfburn: unmount disc error

I tried to submit a bug report, and one of them asked me if I tried the latest version of xfburn.  Problem is I use Linux Mint, trying the latest xfburn without messing up my system wouldn't be easy.  My guess is I would need to update install the whole xfce environment from a ppa or something.  Or I would need to install arch to an extra drive and see if they got the latest version.  Then try burning a disc while ejecting a flash drive.
