Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-08-23 15:11:00 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Receive a notification while your notebook's lid is closed, which should trigger Do Not Disturb.

OBSERVED RESULT
The notification saying that I missed notifications because of Do Not Disturb appears for 1 frame.

EXPECTED RESULT
Being able to read the notification for the default timer (7 seconds, I believe).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. I haven't tested if just locking the session without closing the lid would cause the same issue.
2. This bug might be related to Bug 497597 , because the DND notification timer to fade out could be starting the moment a notification is received, instead of when the user unlocks the session.
3. This could be affecting Bug 507073 too, but I haven't time how long the notification stays after exiting full screen.

Comment 1 Fernando M. Muniz 2025-08-23 15:18:54 UTC

It needs to be checked if the timer of the DND notification activated by the system takes into account that the reason it's active is because the system is currently unable to show notifications, so the timer for the DND notification should only count down once the system automatically deactivates DND.

> Receive a notification while your notebook's lid is closed, which should trigger Do Not Disturb.
Do you have your system configured to sleep when the lid is closed?

Are there any external screens plugged in at the moment you close the log?

JFYI we don't generally use the "usability" keyword for simple bugs that ought to be fixed.

Comment 3 Fernando M. Muniz 2025-08-26 21:21:31 UTC

1- It's set to "Lock screen".
2- No.

Got it. Can reproduce. Apparently the lock screen counts as a fullscreen app. But something goes slightly wrong.
