Two synchronous notification bubbles at the same time

[Steve Dodier-Lazaro]

Hello,

I managed to get a synchronous notification displayed in two bubbles instead of just one, under Xubuntu 9.04, notify-osd as shipped in the package (i was using xfce4-volumed for the sound notifications, but it should do it with g-s-d too).

How to reproduce :

1) trigger a normal notification
2) trigger a synchronous one when the normal one is fading out, so that the synchronous one is alone on the bottom location and the normal one is gone.
3) trigger another synchronous notification, it'll take the top slot and leave the other one below.

Screenshot attached.

I can confirm this behaviour in Ubuntu 9.04

notify-osd:
  Installed: 0.9.11-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 0.9.11-0ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.11-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.9ubuntu2 0

This is not that easy to trigger, you have to send the synchronous notification, only at the moment the asynchronous one is fading out. Low priority.

I'm finding this hard to reproduce with the latest notify-osd, it could be because the timings and behaviors have been tweaked. Can someone please confirm if this still occurs on Karmic.

It does still happen, but should disappear when the new location of
notification bubbles is implemented.

As of notify-osd 0.9.21 this cannot happen anymore.
