GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 649535
Magnifier turns the screen blue when notifications are received in the message tray
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:42:35 UTC
Whenever a notification is received in the message tray, the screen will turn blue, overriding all other windows. In order to get out of this, the notification must be dealt with. This only occurs when Zoom under Accessibility (Universal Access) is turned on.
(fixing summary: the zoom feature is part of the shell itself, not orca) probably related in some way to bug 645140
I'm seeing 645140 as well. I can only hope that this gets fixed soon, because if someone is an epileptic in addition to being visually impaired, this might be an issue for them. (Just saying).
I am wondering if this is related to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710191
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.
