Public bug reported: Hello, for about a month or so there is a bug affecting Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Some apps like Slack (chat) started to popup new regular windows instead of osd-notifications. Not sure what causes this as notify-send works as expected and so does other system notifications I've seen so far (including Rhythmbox).
Sadly, those windows are cumulating on the desktop and needs to be closed, so I had to disable notifications in the Slack chat app for instance. // Please note I know the risks of using a development versions of Ubuntu - though I am following the same path on my personal laptop for quite a few years now. I am reporting this just so that it can be looked into - I am in no way trying to blame anyone for anything :). Thank you very much. ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Hello, - for about a month or so there is a bug affecting Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
