[Bug 1355422] Re: [notifications] Can't dismiss notification bubbles

 

** Description changed:

  On a phone with accounts setup for twitter, facebook and 2x google accounts I get a fair number of notifications.
  Often times these notifications appear while I'm actually using the phone.
  This presents issues in multiple areas:-
  
  * If I'm in the dash I am blocked from using the search function because a notification covers the search button
  * If I'm in the dash and already searching, having typed something, I'm blocked from seeing what I'm typing by the notification
  * In apps I can't go "back" because the notification blocks the button
  
  You get the idea. Basically notifications slow me down, because I have
  to wait for them to disappear. I'd like to be able to dismiss them. On
  iOS you swipe up which is indicated with a horizontal bar to grab and
  swipe away.
