Bug Description

Various notifications are shown in Nautilus, when files are deleted etc. These notification boxes (as shown in the attached screenshot) are a UI/UX nightmare, since each time such an action is performed, the box blocks part of the screen, forcing the User to either pause until the box disappears or forcing the User to click the close button of the message. It is a poor UI/UX design, to block the view with such a message. A simple temporary fix for this UI/UX bug, is to simply reduce the height of the message box (as shown in the bottom of the screenshot). I have requested for this earlier too. Please implement it at least this time, and please release the fix for Ubuntu 20.04 too.

I've seen this too.

Issue needs to be reported upstream to https://gitlab.gnome.org
as not an Ubuntu issue but a GNOME bug that probably affects
all distributions.

paulw2u: Please do not ask to report upstream issues that happened in some codebase from three years ago. Please first do test in a recent version still supported in upstream. Thanks!

@Paul: Andrew closed the GitLab issue with the comment "Hi, this is obsolete in Nautilus 43. Toasts are located at the bottom of the window now". If it'd be possible to patch Ubuntu 20.04 with the changes and make it available as an update, it'd help everyone using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
@Andre: Thank you too.
