Bug Description
[Impact]
- The Messagetray will intermittently disappear at which point it becomes impossible to access any successive notifications.
- This is caused by incoming notifications and seems particularly bad for people using empathy.
- This is a high impact bug, since once the tray is gone it requires a restart of gnome-shell to get it back.
[Test Case]
- Start chatting with a couple of people via empathy
- Pretty soon the messagetray should crash and disappear.
[Regression Potential]
None, We originally cherry picked the required patches into raring some time again, so this has been well tested on raring and no regressions have been noted.
=== Original Bug Report ===
Sometimes the notification bar of gnome-shell (3.6) disappears. If this happens, moving the mouse to the bottom does nothing. Also, when showing the activities, there is no notification bar at the bottom. I have to restart gnome-shell to bring it back. I cannot reproduce this, it just happens from time to time (several times a day).
