Title:
  Notifications should stay on screen longer when there is a lot of text

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Invalid
Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
