Package: gnome-clocks
Version: 3.30.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

   The gnome-clocks' timer does not work as intended under Wayland
   when the application is minimized or in a separate gnome-shell
   workspace. The timer fails to go off unless it is in view.

   This is presumably fixed in an upstream version[0][1][2].
   If time allows, a backport of a newer version would be greatly
   appreciated.

   * What led up to the situation?
     Opening gnome-clocks 3.30.1 (debian10/buster/stable version), and
     setting a timer for at least one minute.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     While using GNOME under Wayland, minimizing gnome-clocks or
     moving to a separate gnome-shell workspace and keeping gnome-clocks
     minimized or staying in a different workspace while the timer has
     completely count down to zero. (Timer works as intended under Xorg).

   * What was the outcome of this action?
     gnome-clocks does not send a notification or play a sound when
     the timer reaches zero.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     gnome-clocks to display a notification and play a sound when
     the timer reaches zero.
