SUMMARY
When you plug in e.g. an external drive, the notification applet on the panel
automatically opens and shows the list of mounted drives.
While this is great, there is a minor but annoying issue with it:
When I plug in my backup drive, open the application launcher menu and start
typing (to open my backup application), the opening notification applet mounted
drive list automatically closes my application launcher menu.
There is a delay between plugging an external drive in and when it actually
gets mounted (and the applet opens the drive list). In this time I can open the
application menu and start typing - but usually I am too slow, so it closes
automatically while I'm still typing. This is quite annoying, since the -
currently in use - application launcher menu should have priority.
I made a short video about it (in the attachments).
The video start immediately after i plugged in my external drive.
Maybe some kind of a priority system for applets could fix this?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. plug in a drive
2. open the application menu
OBSERVED RESULT
The application menu gets closed automatically and the notification applets
drive list opens.
EXPECTED RESULT
The application menu should stay open, the notification applets drive list
shouldn't open automatically.
