Clicking notification raises a slew of unrelated windows

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Running GNOME Shell. When (for example) I click on a Signal notification, Shell will raise the Signal window, and then raises my password manager window, and two different(!) Telegram windows over the top.

This is not the ideal behaviour :).

This is not limited to Signal; Geary notifications suffer the same behaviour.
