This lost-focus is not caused by notify-osd itself. You can verify this by running Dylan's provided python-script and triggering lp:notify-osd/examples/icon-value.py in another terminal (with a "sleep 10" before that, so you've enough time to focus Dylan's running python-script and its output). icon-value.py is triggering the exact same type of notification that a regular volume-up/down would be made of.
What's actually stealing the focus is the process handling the multimedia-keys input. That's the media-keys-manager part (libmedia- keys.so) of lp:gnome-settings-daemon iirc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694224 Title: Synchronous notifications briefly steal focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/694224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
