Wesley Moore on Nostr: Does anyone know why #GNOME does the thing where it shows a notification "'App name' ...
Does anyone know why #GNOME does the thing where it shows a notification "'App name' is ready" instead of showing the actual window. I clicked the 📁 icon in the Firefox downloads drop-down to open the enclosing folder. Instead of doing that it said "Files is ready", and I had to click again on that notification to make the Files window appear. On Windows and macOS the same action opens a Finder or Explorer window directly. Weirdly if I try to reproduce it now, it opens the window as expected.
