Bug 758923 - Notification popups disappear too quickly on mouseout, disappeared notifications have reduced functionality (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758923)
Bug 641723 - We can easily miss incoming messages when using the Shell (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641723)
Bug 783054 - Action buttons and full text on notifications are visible when a notification shows but not after it’s collapsed into the overview (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783054)
Bug 776048 - Allow expanding notifications from the list (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776048)

So it looks like a bug, with some activity, but no solution yet.

Good news, there’s an API to mark the urgency of notification. If marked “Urgent” they behave the way we want: https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/Notifications#Urgent

<code class="python">
Notify.Notification.set_urgency(Notify.Urgency.CRITICAL)
</code>

<code class="python">
Gio.Notification.set_priority(Gio.NotificationPriority.HIGH)
</code>
