Notifications don't do anything or go away when click

[Leo Treasure]

Thunderbird notifications for example don't do anything when clicked.

Really frustrating.

Notfication by default unobtrusive in Unity. For persistent notification there is indicator-messages. Thunderbird is already integrated with that. If it is not working for you ask a question in askubuntu.com.

Indicator-Messages looks like this:

Please see the behavior when I click on the notification; it clicks right through to the application behind.

It doesn't disappear on click.

The highlighted text in the image is a result of furiously clicking the blurred notification window.
