Message tray bubbles - don't scroll the heading
Last modified: 2015-02-23 23:29:11 UTC
When you scroll an expanded banner, the header remains in view - it is only the message body that is scrolled. However, when you scroll from a message tray popup, the header is scrolled. The header should always be visible, and it should only ever be the message body that is scrolled. This way, you can always see the context of the message. It will also enable us to ensure consistent layout between expanded banners and the popups.

I never see it. :) Then you probably act timely on notifications instead of letting them pile up ... libnotify comes with a bunch of test cases, you can try tests/test-basic for instance.
If you have XChat highlights on, multiple of those will pile up into a source.
With the new design [1] we don't have notifications popups any more - so I think this is obsolete. [1] https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/Notifications/
I agree.
