Pressing the message notification on the Ubuntu menu bar thing opens a new Toxic terminal instance

Instead of opening the original chat terminal windows. Ubuntu Desktop 20.04.

I don't use ubuntu. Can you be more descriptive with what's happening exactly (a screenshot maybe?)

My friend's not online to be able to replicate it and I can't find an exact example on google or duck images, but Ubuntu has an OS notification feature that e.g. when I get a Toxic message, it shows it on the top of the desktop (nothing to do with the Toxic window), and when I click it, Toxic reopens in another window, asking for my password again. It's a white-ish rectangular notification that pops up. https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/shell-notifications.html.en. I'm not a programmer, but maybe in Toxic's code there's a part where if a third party or the OS requests it to open, it calls a function to open a new instance instead of just making the original window appear.

Sounds like something with Ubuntu's libnotify packaging. Don't see this on Debian. @pgenderson , which Ubuntu version?

[danmanrana]

It's been a while since I've tested it but it was on 20.04.1.
