Unity launcher shows internal partitions after they have been unmounted

Bug Description

[Test Case]
1. Open Nautilus
2. Mount an internal partition using the sidebar
3. Make sure the launcher has the launcher icon for the partition
4. Unmount that partition using Nautilus
-> The device launcher icon has been removed.

[Regression Potential]
Broken mounted drives launcher display.

Original description:

Hello all,

Using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Package Unity 5.10.0-0ubuntu6

What happens:

When I mount an internal partition it shows up in the launcher. When I unmount it, either through right-click from the launcher, or from inside nautilus, the partition icon remains visible on the launcher.

What (I think) should happen:

Upon unmounting, the icon should dissapear from the launcher

As stated in the description, this occurs ONLY with internal partitions.

When unmounting a USB stick for example, it dissapears from the launcher as expected.

Regards

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have the same behaviour. Only logout will update the unity launcher. I think more people are affected, but maybe they considered this as a feature.

Same issue for me. May be worth to note this bug was already there since beta versions, so it's there since long.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 6.0.0-0ubuntu1
