Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-4+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
I'm not completely positive about his bug belonging to this package, but since
I can't pinpoint exactly what package/s is responsible, I'll be filling it here
for now.

Since last gnome update (3.2 -> 3.4 transition), the notifications have started
to misbehave:
- Whenever a notification is shown (eg. the music player starts playing a new
song), it works fine until you move the mouse over it; if there was a window
open on the background, the notification and the window seem to "struggle" to
gain focus, the latter starts blinking (gaining/losing focus very rapidly)
until finally it loses focus.
- After that the notification was shown and stacked on the notification area,
you can normally expand it by clicking on it, but if you try to hover the mouse
over the extended message, both the notification and the notification area get
hidden (they lose focus, I guess).

What outcome did you expect instead?
I was expecting the old behavior; being able to move the mouse over the
notification to click on it's links, it's buttons or dismiss it.

Notes:
- This problem isn't present on overview mode.
- The problem is present even after disabling all extensions and restarting the
shell.
