<![CDATA[Notification window is wrong]]>It seems Opera uses own implementation for tooltip (or notification). As a result, when I save picture and "download completed" notification appears, Opera completely Looses Keyboard Focus! And while this notification on screen (it stays forever), it intercepts all my keys (PgDn, for example) so I cannot scroll down page. It's annoying behaviour. I prefer not to see any notifications at all, than additionally clicking to remove notification.

I offer to stop showing your custom windows - use normal, native Windows' tooltip - it's enough to say to user "download completed" And (!!!!) native Windows tooltips Never Intercept Focus .

Sometime programmer tries to "help" more than needed. This help became Annoying - it's exactly about your "rich notification" about "download finished". No need to create custom windows everywhere - just use Native Windows' tooltips. Yes , this headache is your payment to have "multiplatform" code. You made one code base - you Lost native behaviour on every platform.

What I suggest is one of variants:

  1. Replace notification with simple tooltip (standard Windows element). Or have both and let user switch between 'em.
  2. Improve notification to Not intercept keyboard focus. It's stupid and inconvenient during web surfing.
  3. For image show just tooltip, while for other types show notification. Again user can select behaviour thru settings.

I saved image - OK, nothing important happen! Once image saved, I want to use PgDn to continue scroll the page. Currently it's impossible, because notification window grabs keyboard focus. It's wrong design and implementation. Simple tooltip is enough to say "download is finished". Is it possible to replace "overnotification" with simple tooltip? Or at least make notification to NOT grab focus?

If you don't want to interact with it, you might try pressing Esc.
