Actual results: Brasero opens and displays incorrect medium information and will not burn anything, claiming that the medium is not writable. Also, the .iso file is not selected (already a bug #153523) Expected Results: Basero shows correct medium size and allows writing to disc. Note: Immediately after this, I tried right-click "Open with CD/DVD creator" and that worked fine, so it was definitely not a faulty CD-R blank.
