Region around notifications became unclickable

[Cody Garver]

Until I restarted gala, the area below wingpanel was unclickable

The dimensions of the area were about 1 notification wide and 2 or 3 notifications tall

[Max Bolotin (maks-bolotin)]

is there a patch/workaround for this?

[TDT (the-dirtchamber)]

I would also like to know if there's any workaround. It's a very annoying issue...

[Gottano (jan-goes)]

Maybe turning off the notification bubbles could be a temporary fix (seeing this bug is in part activated by the bubbles)

I have done just that and I will report back whether it has worked or not.

Same issue... Reboot can fix it temporarily but not for ever. Turnig off the notification bubbles didnt't work...

This happens to me on Freya too, will it be fixed just on Loki?

[Mike Lacey (michael-j-lacey)]

Happens to me on Freya, really inconvenient, would be good to see the Loki fix applied to Freya as well.

[Stiffler (stefan-binder17)]

is there a fix/workaround for freya? it is really annoying.

Hi, I have upgraded to 0.3.2 and I still am getting this bug, has anyone manage to find a workaround yet?

[Robin Nabel (rnabel)]

Hi all, I found a workaround for this:
kill your gnome-session on startup. I have achieved this by adding a cron task, run:
crontab -e

and then add
@reboot killall gnome-session

I see this bug in Freya. After cold boot everything is OK. If an "Automatic Suspend" notification activates in the upper right screen, the notification will stay active even if the user begins work again. The user cannot click anything behind the "Automatic Suspend" banner and the banner will not go away. If the user lets the computer suspend and then re-awakens, the banner will be gone but the user still cannot click anything in the region that the banner occupied--as if the notification were still in the way. This is extremely annoying because I can't click any links in the menu bar of my browser in that region.

It's been about a year this major problem has been identified....any news
regarding possible fixes?

Haven't seen this recently.

[Eric Karnes (eric-karnes1)]

Using Loki beta 2 and experienced this yesterday, still not fixed.

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

Eric, there was an update to the window manager that addressed another
notifications issue, it went live earlier today. Would you mind taking note
of whether the bug happens or not after your next system reboot?

Have yet to experience this bug again after updating gala, fingers crossed.

Thanks for following up, glad to hear this issue may finally be resolved.
