Package: nautilus-cd-burner
Version: 2.8.6-3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/nautilus-cd-burner

 From a usability POV this is more than "normal", but you get to decide
 which severity to assign to the bug.

 The "Write to disc" dialog reads:

     Information

        Write disc to: ...
        Disc name: ...
        Data size: ...

     Write options

        Write speed: ...

     After writing

        [ ] Eject disc

        [ ] Reuse these files for another disc

     [ Help ]  [ Cancel ] [ Write ]

 The help page you get when you press "Help" reads:

    7.11  Writing CDs
    
    The file manager provides a special location where you can copy
    files and folders that you want to write to a CD. You can write the
    contents of the location to a CD easily.
    
    To write a CD, perform the following steps:
    
        Choose Go \u2192 CD Creator. The file manager opens a special
        location, burn:///, from which you can write CDs.
        
        Copy the files and folders that you want to write to CD into the
        burn:/// location.
        
        Insert a writable CD into the CD writer device on your system.
        
        Choose File \u2192 Write to CD. A Write files to a CD recorder
        dialog is displayed.
        
        Use the Write files to a CD recorder dialog to specify how you
        want to write the CD, as follows:
        
        Dialog Element  Description
        
        Target to write to Select the device to which you want to write
        the CD from the drop-down list. To create an CD image file for
        the files and folders, select the File image option.
        
        Write speed Select the speed at which you want to write the CD
        from the drop-down list.
        
        CD name Type a name for the CD in the text box.
        
        Erase CD Select this option to erase the current contents of the
        CD.
        
        Eject CD when done Select this option to eject the CD from the
        drive when the CD is written.
        
        Reuse these files for another CD Select this option if you do
        not want to write the files and folders to another CD. If you
        select this option, the files and folders are not removed from
        the burn:/// location after the CD is written.
        
    Click on the Write files to CD button.
    
    If you selected the File image option from the Target to write to
    drop-down list, a Choose a filename for the cdrom image dialog is
    displayed. Use the dialog to specify the location where you want to
    save the CD image file. By default, CD image files have a .iso file
    extension.
    
    A Writing CD dialog is displayed. When the CD is written or when the
    CD image file is created, a message to indicate that the process is
    complete is displayed in the dialog.
    
    If you created a CD image file, you can write this file to a CD. To
    write a CD image file to CD, right-click on the CD image file, then
    choose Write to CD from the popup menu.
    
    If you did not select the Reuse these files for another CD option,
    the files and folders are removed from the burn:/// location.

 (the poor formatting of the above text is courtesy of GNOME not giving
 a damm about X Windows)

 As you can see, the described options do not match the dialog.
