Gnome-Shell 3.5.4 notifications only display icon

[Taylor "Ripps" LeMasurier-Wren]

Gnome-Shell doesn't seem to display a box or text for notifications anymore. But if the program uses an icon, than the icon will show up where the notification is supposed to be for a few seconds, but there will be no text or backdrop. Just a floating icon.

On my computer this happens when I change the gnome-shell theme.
If you disable the "user themes" extension - does the problem still exist?

i've found how fix this :
it's in the gnome-shell.css file from the theme package
some id definitions need the class name definition :

example :
#notification { -----> CHANGE TO THIS -----> #notification, .notification {
and some other definition ... to sumup you have compare with the gnome-shell.css file in /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme

looks like you got some artifacts from a newer version of the gnome shell.
#notification will be changed to .notification as mentioned here:
