Hello,

Whenever I click on a Firefox notification (push notification), nothing happens on the web browser.
Comment 1 Andre Miranda editbugs 2019-09-18 03:55:45 CEST
With this random site I found: https://www.pushengage.com/demo

The activate button from the notification bubble opens a new tab in firefox, but clicking on the respective item on the notifications plugin does nothing, although I'm not sure it's supposed to do anything.
Comment 2 Simon Steinbeiss editbugs 2019-09-19 03:19:21 CEST
Right, currently the notification-action can only be triggered via the notification bubble, not later through the log. The simple background is that the action isn't logged and re-translated into an actionable button.

Hi,

I'm not clicking on the item from the log. I'm just clicking on the bubble as you described, but unfortunately nothing happens. I don't know why.

Could you help in investigating the cause behind this issue?

Is this the notification bubble you are referring to?

Yes, but it doesn't look like xfce4-notifyd, see my attached screenshot, in my case I get the Activate button.
You can try to open Notifications and change themes.

Hi,

Could you tell me about the version and the distribution your are using?

> You can try to open Notifications and change themes.

I have tried all the themes, unfortunately the plugin wasn't successful to update the theme, and the bubble remains the same (blue as always).

Arch Linux with some Xfce components at 4.14 and some built from git master

Try running the following commands so we can sure if you're running xfce4-notifyd or not:

notify-send foo # just to make sure notification daemon is running

ps -p $(dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionUnixProcessID string:org.freedesktop.Notifications | awk 'END{print $2}')

My output is: 179591 ?        00:00:00 xfce4-notifyd

The command `notify-send foo` seems to work fine, since the notification shows up.

I'm getting the following output:

  PID TTY          TIME CMD
 2902 ?        00:00:02 dunst
Comment 10 Andre Miranda editbugs 2019-10-04 14:56:40 CEST
You're not using dunst[1] instead of xfce4-notifyd.
Your options are:
1) uninstall dunst and reboot, xfce4-notifyd should be the notification daemon now
2) keep using dunst and report this bug to them[2]

You're right, obviously 'dunst' was the cause behind such weird behavior. Uninstalling it solved the problem.

Thanks a lot for your help.
