Bug Description
Remove the paper from a local printer and print a job on it. You get a window in the middle of the screen telling "Printer XXX out of paper". It has an OK and a Cancel button. I do not see any difference for OK and Cancel. Independent what I click the window is closed and the job stays in the queue (or gets printed when I refill paper). So I expect only an OK (or a Close) button here.
Instead, the message should be converted to an alert box containing only an "OK" button. <https:/

summary: |
- If bubble is replaced by alert window (infinite timeout, actions), - window has unneeded OK/Cancel + Print errors are presented as alerts with redundant buttons |
To post a comment you must log in.
Note that the notification clients (in the examples the system- config- printer applet and the Network Manager) send a command to the notification server (which is notify-osd in our case) to create a notification bubble with either action buttons (our Network Manager example, action button is "Do not show such notifications again") or with infinite timeout (our system- config- printer example, the out-of-paper notification was expected to be permanent, until the user clicks it to close). This is not supported by notify-osd, as clicks on the notification are required and those are not supported in notify-osd. So notify-osd falls back to alert windows.
