Clicking on Notifications isn’t Reliable
Congratulations on releasing Odin! :blush: :tada: While using it on my laptop, I have noticed the following:
Prerequisites
- [X] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
Describe the bug
Clicking on a notification-bubble as it pops up or in the notification centre isn’t reliably focussing the application and removing the application from the notification centre.
For example, when AppCentre sends the "Updates available" notification, clicking the bubble has an about 50% chance of not doing anything but closing the bubble. The bubble disappears, but sometimes still ends up in the notification centre. No window is opened / focussed.
Another example is Telegram Desktop (installed as a Flatpak from Flathub) with "Use native notifications" enabled. Clicking the notification when a new message arrives doesn't focus the window and the notification sometimes still shows in the notification centre. Clicking on the "Reply" action has worked reliably so far, however.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Wait until a couple notifications from different applications show up
- Click on them as the show
- Observe the inconsistent behaviour
- Repeat, since it doesn’t reliably fail
Expected behavior
I would expect that clicking on a notification bubble (whether when it pops up on screen, or within the notification centre) to do the following every time:
- Focus / open the application that sent the notification
- Switch to the relevant section within the application if possible (i.e. the Updates pane in AppCenter, or the message thread with the new message in Telegram)
- Close the notification and prevent it from appearing in the notification centre
Platform Information
- [ ] I'm using the latest version from git that I've manually compiled
- [X] I'm using the latest released stable version
Thank you for your time and hard work!
