Title:
  Possible to miss 0-expiry-time notifications by pressing ENTER at the
  wrong time

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If a notification with 0 expiry time, for example

      notify-send -t 0 "Please acknowledge."

  is handled while the user is typing, and the window manager is
  configured to grant focus to new windows, the user may press ENTER
  just after the alert box pops up, dismissing it without having read or
  even noticed it.

  There should perhaps be a minimum display time for messages which must
  be acknowledged, during which time it is not possible, or at least
  less convenient, to dismiss them.

  Alternatively, the initial keyboard focus in the alert box could be
  given to some other control.  However, this is not foolproof, as the
  user might press TAB and then ENTER in quick succession.
