Bug Description
Binary package hint: notify-osd
With a default Firefox configuration, the highly useful search box is in the top-right hand corner. If a notification comes in whilst typing in the search box it impossible to see what is being typed.
IIRC, there is currently code to dull/fade a notification if the mouse cursor is moved into the bounding box of the notification popup; ideally this behaviour should be extended to the active text cursor in the focused window.
(FWIW, this is the first time that libnotify has frustrated me!).

This is a very hard to solve problem. The currently implemented "fixed slot allocation" scheme eases this a little bit, since the more frequent async. notifications (e.g. im-message), are placed in the lower of the two "slots" reserved for notifications. Thus if your browser is maximized the search-entry-widget is not covered by the notification- bubble.
