[SOLVED] Xfce 4.16.0 notifications are stuck when unmount usb devices

Notifications stuck with unmount and eject  command, this happened on MX21 and now on Mint 20.3, not Mint 20. The notifications are removed when I click on them.

Hello and welcome.

What is the "Disappear after" setting set to in Settings Manager > Notifications?

Can you run:

gio mount -l

...before you unmount, while the notification is hung on the screen, and once again after you remove the notification. Post back the results.

And finally:

ps -ef | grep notif

Thank you for your reply, the problem solved after posting it here and at Mint forum, it was solved automatically, or remotely, or by running the command "gio mount -l", without any mounted usb devices. I noticed it today in the morning, after I wake up the laptop from suspend and get your email. I run the command "gio mount -l" as normal user to see the output, and then I mounted a usb device, I unmounted and ejected it and notification disappeared after few seconds.

Hello.
Sorry for posting in "solved" thread.
I'm seeing the same behaviour at my installation.
Gentoo. Thunar 4.18.4.
All notification are disappears properly except the thunar-volman ones.
Notification with "safe to unplug" message will be shown until I'll hover the message with the mouse cursor.
Thanks in advance.

I ran into this also, on arch linux, xfce 4.18.
I was able to solve it notification settings, by adjusting:

Applications section -> org.xfce.Thunar -> Allow urgent notifications -> off.

Apparently "urgent" notifications don't time out, and disabling this makes them act like regular notifications.
