This bug affects me too, on 14.04 (kernel 3.13.0-46).

However, the curious thing is that it only affects me with the new
Transcend StoreJet 25H3 external HDD (USB 3.0) that I got recently.
Before that I was using a Seagate external HDD (also USB 3.0) which I
was able to safely remove (either using Nautilus or from the command
line with udisks --detach). This seems to suggest that the drive itself
is responsible for this behaviour.

The Transcend drive has a hardware button which on Windows is supposed
to do a quick reconnect for a detached device, or a one-touch backup
when connected. On Linux this button seems not to have any effect, but
the fact that the drive can go from detached state back to attached
state by its own action could possibly be the reason we're seeing this
strange behaviour. Perhaps it's not a bug but a feature...

Title:
  Automatic remount of safely removed drive

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  When I choose "Safely remove drive" context menu entry for an external
  USB drive within a nautilus window or directly clicking on the desktop
  icon, after about 10 seconds the drive is automatically remounted and
  a Nautilus window showing the root folder opens.

  I have noticed that similar already happened with a very old Ubuntu
  version - Bug #110589 and as that is so long time ago I thought it is
  better to open a new bug. Reason of the problem might even be
  completely different.
