Thanks for pointing this out. We don't currently support this queuing 
mechanism.

However, more generally, the notifications have been turned into 
ephemeral bits of informations, that you may or may not want to deal 
with, ie they should not force you to interrupt your work.

Displaying out of date notifications does not fit into the design shift. 
Users may legitimately ask: "why are they displayed now? why aren't the 
other notifications displayed too?".

BTW, I think the messaging indicator provides a better solution to this 
problem, as do other application specific journaling mechanisms to help 
the user get back in the flow of information he needs to know about.

Status in Notify OSD: Confirmed

Bug description:
all info in the title, probably applies to KOffice and others aswell. 
However we might want to get notifications while watching movies, so we can't 
exclude all fullscreen applications.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Critical%20and%20non-critical%20queues%20and%20do-not-disturb%20mode>:
 "Whenever a program is inhibiting the screensaver, Notify OSD should be in 
do-not-disturb mode. Critical notification bubbles and all confirmation bubbles 
should appear as normal, but the queue of non-critical notification bubbles 
should be paused indefinitely until your session leaves do-not-disturb mode."
