Hello from 2019. This is still a problem for me on Ubuntu 18.10. Is this bug still being worked on? Could it be a related problem to gnome notifications in general?
I can be typing in a chat room and often times the enter key will go to the notification that popped up because a song track has changed and the enter key instead forwards to the next track. This also steals focus when notifications from GSConnect come up. Awkardly typing a reply to SMS/WhatsApp messages. The volume OSD does not take focus. I apologize if this is the incorrect program to provide this bug-report for. This is my first report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to notify-osd in Ubuntu.

This is quite problematic for games and some other applications that pause as soon as they lose focus. The focus stealing does not happen with normal, asynchronous notifications. Here's a quick Python program to reproduce this: #!/usr/bin/python import gtk import time def cb (wid, ev): evtime = time.strftime ("%H:%M:%S", time.localtime()) print ("%s: Lost focus!" % evtime) win = gtk.Window() win.connect ("focus-out-event", cb) win.show_all() gtk.main() You could also just start playing Quadrapassel, then adjust your volume :) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/694224/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
