[Bug 1235814] [NEW] indicator-messages fails to bring application windows to foreground

 

Public bug reported:

When using Thunderbird and pidgin (only apps I have tried so far), the
message indicator displays a new message available, but when selecting
the message, instead of foregrounding the window containing the message,
it just wiggles the launcher entry, and leaves it hidden, until I
manually click the launcher icon to bring it to the front.  If it is
required, I can provide a screencast to demonstrate.
