Setting a longer show time will not solve this bug for me. The time might be close to expiration when I stop working with an application and want to read the notification.
It also won't solve the case for notifications that would take *minutes* to mentally process, like the one I had this week: - I received a notification saying more or less that "The sound system *A-89853xx##* is not working. Switching to sound system *B-IFX99L337* instead". - When I was still trying to read the names of the failing components in order to make sense of the sentence, the notification began fading. - I tried to keep the message from disappearing. My gut reaction was placing the mouse over the notification (the standard behavior for fading popups is to stop fading). Alas, placing the mouse on Ubuntu's notifications make them *unreadable*. - Of course, when a notification disappears, it's gone. Forever. The sad thing is, that's *intentional*. By design there isn't a place in the interface where one can go to read previous notifications. I know this was a bold design decision by the Ubuntu team, and I understand the rationale behind it. The problem is, *it's not working*. Either show only notes that we won't miss when they're gone (volume-bright up/down are fine), or provide a way to recover the alerts we do care about. There must be a way to make notifications persistent so that they can be properly read. A simple log in the system tray would make wonders. -- Notification popups don't last enough to be correctly read https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368005 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
