Description pedrum 2016-06-15 19:13:59 UTC
I use Franz (a Chromimum based messaging app) and whenever I receive a 1-1 message request this results in a notification banner as expected.

However, as soon I click the first notification containing the message, I also see "Franz is ready" notification which is unexpected. 

The first click on the notification with the message removes it, the second click on the 'is ready' one takes me to the window.

Is there an API that developer needs to implement to not show this excessive notification? Is the window being non-focused/backgrounded causing this?

There appears to be several extensions to block this behavior (here's one):
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/234/steal-my-focus/

There are many tickets that appear related to this (some appear Evolution based, but this seems be gnome-shell issue AFAICT).

I'm running Gnome 3.20 (gnome-shell 3.20.2 on Arch).

I've gotten around some of this by using the "Steal my focus" extension.

Comment 2 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:47:36 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
