it appears that a change between 7.10 and 8.04 caused this... the way to remove this behaviour was to do the following... open up the OSD Notifications dialog, which is located under... System -> Preferences -> OSD Notifications ... then when this dialog opens up click the Notifications tab. then to finish up, uncheck the option of "Notify on IRC messages directed to me"
the problem is thus directly linked to the package, gnome-osd -- highlighted messages always render at bottom of the screen. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
