[Bug 340996] [NEW] Notifications should stay on screen longer when there is a lot of text

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Sometimes there is a lot of text in the notification bubble, but it
disappeares in a few (5?) seconds, which is barley enough to read it if
you pay attention and you are a fast reader. There are people who can't
read as fast (visualy impared, dyslexic), so I think notifications with
a lot of text should stay on the screen a few seconds longer, maybe some
algorithm that takes number of characters in consideration or something
(but lets say bubble should never last less than 5 or more than 10
seconds).

That said, I do understand that notifications shouldn't be "novels", and
that they should be non-critical, and that consistency is important for
the "feel" of the system, but I needed to point this out to see the
community feedback.
