This sounds like it might be related to focus stealing prevention. That
is the code which prevents new windows getting focus if the system
thinks you're busy with something else, so new windows would only get in
the way.

Title:
clicking desktop notifications to bring up linked up works
intermittently in 19.10?

Bug description:
This is not going to be the highest quality bug report :-(, since it's
an intermittent issue and I don't know exactly what triggers it and I
can't even say with 100% certainty that it's new in 19.10, but I
_think_ it is so I wanted to give people a heads-up just in case.
I just upgrade to 19.10 from 19.04. I use the Google Hangouts Chrome
app. When I get a text message in Hangouts it pops up a desktop
notification. Usually clicking on the notification causes the Hangouts
window to open. When I clicked on the notification nothing happened.
Then I got a second notification later and clicked on that one and the
window opened as it should have. Then I got a third notification later
and clicked on that one and again the window didn't open.
I _believe_, though I can't say for certain, that this worked
consistently in 19.04.
