click on notification bubble

kristatos

@gpatel-fr I still have my E4.5 in fully working condition. Maybe I'll test with a spare SIM-card if the notifications are working like expected

@gpatel-fr would not upgrade it. Just test notifications. It is indeed 16.04 and turns on. Haven't tested yet though.

I found my old phone (Meizu Pro5) with 16.04. I can confirm that I can click on the bubble when I receive a new email and it opens Dekko2.

No click on notification bubbles, please.

I don't want to get you upset, I am not trying to convince anybody of anything, I am just trying to understand... but it seems as if I touched a sensitive issue here: why are you against click on notification bubbles? - especially since you have them disabled, then it would not affect you in any way. Or will that somehow make the OS worse / slow / etc? - as I said, I am just trying to understand. Thank you.

@mihael

thanks for the investigation, in this case it seems indeed a regression to add to the fact that it don't conform to the spec. I'm beginning to think to create an issue on Gitlab.

mihael

Maybe @projectmoon and @kristatos can confirm? - @kristatos, you don't need to insert a sim, you just need to connect to wifi and then receive an email while having Dekko2 installed...

I hope that this question don't come from my musing about thinking to create an issue on Gitlab.

If I am thinking and not yet acting on it, it's not that I don't trust you, it's because I would like to take a look at the code if I see anything obvious (sometimes one get lucky) and in this case I'd not create an issue, I'd create directly a merge request. It's better to try to fix than just create yet another issue.

@gpatel-fr Oh, noooo, not at all, I'm not that deep or intense
I just don't trust myself. I am quite tired and confused these days. I mean I tested it with Dekko, I tested with bubbles and with notifications but maybe I missed something. Who knows?... That is why I would feel better if someone else would confirm it for 16.04 - so that it would not be my experience only.

@gpatel-fr @mihael I've made a quick test with my Volla22 on 24.04-1.3: I set a calendar-event with notification and closed the calendar app. On the beginning of the event the notification comes up and when I tap on the bubble the calendar app starts and showed me the event. So it still seems to work for some applications on 24.04...

I'm sorry. I should learn again how to listen. Forgive me.

True and well spotted.
I find bubble notifications annoying (that I left clear) additional the app badges (or whatever called). Let me explain and mix.
I disabled notification bubbles but SMS ones can't be disabled (nor incoming call ones, that's understandable).
I do that because they turn on the screen (unwanted behavior for me) and I read «add tap actions». So for me is «unwanted with SMS and unwanted tap actions on top». I read now that they might be options.

I already answer automatic responses when I get a call (and the phone is on my pocket).

On the desktop, as Unity does, notification bubbles are «click transparent» so you tap through them because you cannot move them.

I find it terrible if you are using an app and tap on the header and SMS bubble shows. Add a url action.

That's my point of view.

Thank you.

PS: I find a terrible idea those App badget
Notifications should be all in one place: the Notification indicator, not scattered on each app.
