USB Flash drive connected 1nd time after computer startup - visible in Dolphin
and in the "Device Notifier" applet
SUMMARY
I noticed that USB flash drives are not detected by "Device Notifier" when
reconnected.
If the flash drive has more than one partition, it is always shown by the
applet, both on the first connection and on subsequent ones.
This happens regardless of which USB port the flash drive is connected to.
First screenshot:
USB Flash drive connected 1nd time after computer startup - visible in Dolphin
and in the "Device Notifier" applet
Second screenshot:
The same flash drive connected the second time - visible in Dolphin, not
visible in the applet.
Third screenshot:
Another USB flash drive connected (for the first time) - visible in Dolphin,
not visible in the applet.
Fourth screenshot:
A USB flash drive connected (with 2 partitions) - visible every time in Dolphin
and in the applet.
Fifth screenshot:
A connected USB flash drive, which previously did not show up for the second
and next time in the applet, but at the moment when the previous USB flash
drive with 2 partitions is connected as well, shows up normally, but only again
for once time.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect USB Flash drive (with one partition)
2. Disconnect USB Flash drive
3. Connect USB Flash drive again
OBSERVED RESULT
The USB Flash drive is visible in Dolphin, but not visible in the "Device
Notifier" applet.
EXPECTED RESULT
The "Device Notifier" applet should show the device every time it is connected.
