Created attachment 3728 Look at the arrows Since Xfce 4.8 removable devices have not been focused in tree view when autoopened. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up Thunar to use tree view and to automatically open inserted removable media. 2. Plug a USB flash drive (or whatever) in. Actual Results: A new window of Thunar is opened, focusing a mounting directory in the side panel (/media/foobar). Expected Results: A new window of Thunar is opened, focusing the shortcut of the device in the side panel. Problem is explained on the attached image.
I don't like this behavior too. It also occurs always when I click on removable media in tree view => selection skips to Filesystem /media/****
Please retest in a current version and reopen if it is still reproducible.
