Description Adam Joseph Cook 2012-10-07 15:32:00 UTC
Description of problem:
This bug was discovered in response to the Fedora 18 Alpha ABRT Test Day.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-10-01_ABRT

Many of the tests - especially this one: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_ABRT in the 'Expected Results' section, claim that an expected result should be that 'clicking on the notification should open abrt-gui'. In my system, this is not the case. Clicking anywhere (besides the 'Ignore' and 'Report' buttons) inside the notification does not do anything but dismiss the notification without bringing up abrt-gui.

If the notification only appears as an ABRT icon in the GNOME 3 'taskbar' (official name??? - the icon tray normally hidden in the lower-right portion of the screen), clicking on the ABRT icon or the notification after clicking the icon simply dismisses the ABRT icon and no abrt-gui appears. The user must then invoke abrt-gui manually.

Clicking on the 'Report' button in the notification window does start the reporting process, but it does not bring up the abrt-gui main window at any time.

This described behavior seems to be different on Fedora 18 then in previous Fedora releases (if my memory serves).

The test case was wrong, it was for the old ABRT version -> fixed.
