Just wondering if anyone here knows of the design rationale for the
(seemingly intermittent to me) notification i get informing me that an
application window is ready for my attention.

I seem to get these most when opening a file in the default application
from
firefox, or opening an application from the terminal, or sometimes when
clicking on a notification from an application. In all cases when I see
this
notification, I did want to see the application window to appear and get
focus.

There is a shell extenstion available to turn off this application is
ready
behaviour, which I do use, but IMO, this would be a useful default
behaviour
to have turned on in Workstation.

Focus stealing prevention ... i.e you don't want the password you have
been typing in a terminal to get into the chat app you just lanuched
;)

For some cases it triggers even though it shouldn't in that cases some
apps are broken (opening windows without or with wrong timestamps).
It seems that it triggers sometimes for some applications, and not for
others. From me as a user point of view, it is quite random if i am going to
get a notification that i have to click on or not. Is there any pattern or
reason as to when the notification shows up?

For example, i am getting it with geary when i click on the notification
telling me that a have gotten a new email, then i have to click the "geary
is ready" notification.
That's a bug ... the "new mail" notification action should supply a
correct timestamp. In that case its either a gnome-shell or geary bug
(can't recall how notification actions are handled right now).

Anyways when you find bugs like this please file them ... installing
an extension to paper over issues is not really a fix.
I have filed bugs against the ones i have noticed in the last 24hrs:
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1174409
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1174410
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1174968

I also noticed that it was doing it when opening a file in gedit via the terminal (but only if gedit was previously already opened). If opening gedit via terminal without already having gedit open, it works correctly. (not sure where to file this one TBH)

cheers,
