Bug Description

When I use full screen in different app. the notification about battery charge (especially when it's low) don't appear. When I don't use full screen, the notification appear. It's problematic because when the battery is low, I don't have notification before the laptop shut down.

The same problem occur with Firefox and VLC.

More info: The notification seem to be created but not showing on screen. If I'm in full screen and I return to regular mode, the notification appear. Also, if I'm in regular mode and the notification appear, when I change for the full screen mode, the notification stay on screen.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
