MichaƂ Sawicz (saviq) wrote : Calendar reminder notifications became queued, non-interactive and easy to miss

With the recent indicator-datetime update the reminder notifications time out and are not interactive any more, meaning that:
- can't dismiss (have to wait for the sound/notification to time out)
- can't snooze (I know the feature didn't work, but that was a missing feature, not a thing we didn't want?)
- if you missed the notification, you missed the reminder

Not sure if the reason is the same, but they started queueing, too, i.e. if there's two reminders for the same time, sound will play for both (bug #1340248), but the two notifications will be shown one after another.

This is a UX regression in my opinion, even if it fixes bug #1320880.

There is actually no clear design for this, I'm afraid,
