[Bhajneet Kohli <694224@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello from 2019. This is still a problem for me on Ubuntu 18.10. Is this
bug still being worked on? Could it be a related problem to gnome
notifications in general?

I can be typing in a chat room and often times the enter key will go to
the notification that popped up because a song track has changed and the
enter key instead forwards to the next track.

This also steals focus when notifications from GSConnect come up.
Awkardly typing a reply to SMS/WhatsApp messages.

The volume OSD does not take focus.

I apologize if this is the incorrect program to provide this bug-report
for. This is my first report.

Title:
  Synchronous notifications briefly steal focus

Status in notify-osd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It appears synchronous notifications (at least those for volume and
  brightness) briefly steal focus when they appear. This is quite
  problematic for games and some other applications that pause as soon
  as they lose focus. The focus stealing does not happen with normal,
  asynchronous notifications.

  Here's a quick Python program to reproduce this:

  #!/usr/bin/python
  import gtk
  import time
  def cb (wid, ev):
  	evtime = time.strftime ("%H:%M:%S", time.localtime())
  	print ("%s: Lost focus!" % evtime)
  win = gtk.Window()
  win.connect ("focus-out-event", cb)
  win.show_all()
  gtk.main()

  
  You could also just start playing Quadrapassel, then adjust your volume :)
