Title:
  [Scopes] Calendar reminder notifications became queued, non-
  interactive and easy to miss

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  With the recent indicator-datetime update the reminder notifications time out and are not interactive any more, meaning that:
  - can't dismiss (have to wait for the sound/notification to time out)
  - can't snooze (I know the feature didn't work, but that was a missing feature, not a thing we didn't want?)
  - if you missed the notification, you missed the reminder

  Not sure if the reason is the same, but they started queueing, too,
  i.e. if there's two reminders for the same time, sound will play for
  both (bug #1340248), but the two notifications will be shown one after
  another.

  This is a UX regression in my opinion, even if it fixes bug #1320880.

  There is actually no clear design for this, I'm afraid,

  ------ UX Comment ------

  We've added the desired behaviour in the latest specification for
  notifications bubbles:

  Specific to remiders notifications: Notifications from missed calls,
  calendar events and reminders, are exceptions and won't ever be
  presented in a summary layout because of their different nature. They
  are time-sensitive (especially if these events involve other people
  actively waiting on a response) and may change the user's behaviour in
  the real world.
