Notifications do not show up when full screen

[valeriikundas]

I'm using apps(vscode, chrome) in full screen mode. And I do not see any notifications at the time of break. When I exit full screen, it works fine. Is there anything we can do about it?

Ubuntu 18.04

Hi, This is an intended behavior to avoid interrupting users working with full-screen apps especially while watching videos. If you do not want this feature, please disable the Do not Disturb plugin in Settings --> Plugins tab.

If those are the only two applications you want break screen regardless of their state, add google-chrome, code to the Interrupt these windows regardless of their state in Do not Disturb settings as shown below.

Hi! Thank you for your help!

The thing is that 'Do Not Disturb' is disabled.

Hi! Have similar issue. When i'm watching, for example, YouTube video in a full screen, break window doesn't appear until i switch back to normal view. While break if i switch back to normal view there's break window with some time passed. Before break can't hear any sound or see notification(cause of full screen).

Have "Do not disturb" feature disabled. Is there a way to make break window appear above video? Linux Mint 18.3 XFCE

In other words, apparently SafeEyes has a bug which prevents it from locking some screens (including my screen) when in full screen mode even when the SafeEyes’ Do Not Disturb setting is disabled.

My bad. I agree this is a bug. I hope it happens because the full-screen application is the top most window which hides the break screen. The break screen will be opened and closed behind the full-screen window.

I will look at this problem.

You must not be an engineer. The common response I receive from engineers to similar bug reports is usually something like, "Even though I was wrong, I was right whereas you 'Mr. User', even though you were right, are somehow wrong!" (sarcasm).

Seriously... thank you!

Now that you've replicated the bug I'm confident you'll be able to fix.
