Removable Drive Menu freezes shell when accessing a disconnected sftp location
When clicking on a remote sftp location listed in the Removable Drive Menu, if that location is offline/disconnected, Gnome Shell will freeze until the location gets reconnected.
No freeze occurs when clicking on the Disconnect button for an offline location, or if the location is connected via ftps.
To reproduce:
- Use Nautilus to connect to a device on your local network via sftp.
- Confirm that the connected device appears as a location in the Removable Drive Menu.
- Put the connected device to sleep, or turn it off.
- Click that device's location in the Removable Drive Menu.
Actual results: Gnome Shell freezes.
Expected results: Not sure, but at the very least, the shell shouldn't freeze.
