The spec should say:

 - there's a wrapping and scrolling provision for notifications > 12 lines
 - longer notifications should stay on screen for longer.

I'll leave it up to MPT to say whether the spec DOES say that, and Mirco
to say whether or not it's implemented yet :-)

Notifications should stay on screen longer when there is a lot of text

Bug description:
Sometimes there is a lot of text in the notification bubble, but it disappeares 
in a few (5?) seconds, which is barley enough to read it if you pay attention 
and you are a fast reader. There are people who can't read as fast (visualy 
impared, dyslexic), so I think notifications with a lot of text should stay on 
the screen a few seconds longer, maybe some algorithm that takes number of 
characters in consideration or something (but lets say bubble should never last 
less than 5 or more than 10 seconds).

That said, I do understand that notifications shouldn't be "novels", and that 
they should be non-critical, and that consistency is important for the "feel" 
of the system, but I needed to point this out to see the community feedback.
