If it is related to that - you should do gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-new-windows 'strict'
(see https://major.io/2015/07/06/allow-new-windows-to-steal-focus-in-gnome-3/ ) I'm here because I type in notification bubbles themselves, and since gnome 3.34 these notifications do not have focus when I bring them up, I have to explicitly click inside them (which doesn't always work). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1844809 Title: clicking desktop notifications to bring up linked up works intermittently in 19.10? Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed 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.
