Comment 0 for bug 2026727

As part of the LTS 22.04.3 release many gnome package updates are available in the 'proposed' repository. When checking these on a test machine I noticed that the window raise behavior when clicking on notifications has regressed for some applications. In 22.04.2 clicking on a notification in gnome shell would raise the application window and focus the inbox or chat channel the message was received in. In the 22.04.3 proposed packages this is still the case for e.g. Thunderbird, but for other applications such as 'slack' and 'signal' clicking on a new message notification no longer raises the application window. Although not a major bug, it's quite annoying as it breaks the workflow and means extra work in finding the application and the channel that the message arrived at.

Due to the many package updates it's not clear to me which update broke the behavior (maybe mutter or gnome-shell) but filing it under shell because of the notification area issue.
