I cannot click through the bubbles. I don't know why. First, they tend to be opaque so I would have no idea what I'm clicking through to. Maybe on your 12-core xenon blade servers they do something different, but on my normal systems they are sticky and tend to leave a nearly opaque box covering the data I'm trying to read or access for several seconds regardless of where the mouse is. Since you don't seem to care to fix the drivers, hardware, X server, or whatever, it seems logical to ask you to fix the thing where the latency of the rest of the system matters.
Even if they weren't sticky, realize that if you have an 800x600 screen (I usually use larger, but consider someone who is visually impaired) that it is HUGE!. There is likely something you simply want to read. For a pathological case, consider where I have to mouseover part of a web page to get a bubble, which the annoytification covers. If I move the mouse I lose the web bubble text. If I don't, it remains covered by the annoytification. The loss of functionality and the difficulties caused are more than sufficient to call this a bug. The feedback button function has not been retrofitted in many if any applications. The lack of configuration makes it useless for all but close to vanilla installs on normal sized monitors - it is supposed to notify, not completely disable the usage of your current app until it decides to expire with an oversized banner or completely fail to notify with a barely noticeable box at the outer edge of the screen. If the terminal app used an unreadable font or one that forced the wrong charset so you would get strange symbols instead of ASCII, it wouldn't be merely a cosmetic problem or "misjudgment". If it renders the program/package unusable for the intended function it is a bug, whether it is technical (crash) or cosmetic (bizarrely wrong). Meanwhile, they have promised to destroy any functionality in the systray. When everything is similarly broken and dysfunctional, I assume getting something to actually work there will also be a "wishlist". -- notify-osd is too annoying in lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
