If you actually mean that you click on it and it disappears from the list, that's a bug. That's not intentional. I've seen that with btrfs subvols; that case ought to be fixed in 18.27 IIRC. If you're seeing a different case, please report it. partitions shouldn't disappear from the list on the left unless and until you actually choose to delete them. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
