Description Felipe Peter 2018-12-14 16:08:23 UTC

SUMMARY
I find it very annoying that Notifications pop up for the active window because they potentially occlude the window itself. If I for example use Spotify in the lower right corner of my screen, skipping to the next song produces a notification with the song's name. This is redundant as I am actively using the application and furthermore, the application gets occluded by the notification.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Tile Spotify to the lower right of the screen
2. Skip to the next song

OBSERVED RESULT
A Notification pops up and occludes Spotify. 


EXPECTED RESULT
No Notification is generated because Spotify is the active window.

Spotify shouldn't show pointless notifications.
