Should the context pop up automatically?

[kRHYME7]

My problem

notify-send "ok" --action=test1=test1 --action=test2=test2 popups the dmenu immediately instead if waiting for me to click the notif

My config

---

Is this inteded ? Thank you !

[kRHYME7]

so what I want to know is there a way to only popup this only if I use the mouse__ ?

[bynect]

This should not happen. Is this a regression?

[kRHYME7]

I tried to downgrade, restart dunst and this build is predated 2 years ago. Still has the issue.

---

I only notice this let's say few months ago, within this year. But even the build before that shows this symptoms.

And this is the only config I have for testing.

[global]
dmenu = /usr/bin/rofi -config notification -dmenu -p dunst:

[kRHYME7]

Here's the debug. So I run notify-send "ok" --action=test1=test1 --action=test2=test2 then it automatically renders the menu without any interaction. I notice that pressing esc exits it and dunst revives the dmenu as long as the notif is showing.

[kRHYME7]

So I tried downgrading and the symptoms are not available in 1.7.X. (pressing middle click only triggers the context )

I will revert to 1.12.2 because I think my downgrades are not relevant and not helpful. Because working build is at year 2021!.

Oh no! I see! My Bad. I have this waybar module that calls dunstctl action. I use this in exec-if property to check if dunst is running. This is dumb lol. I thought exec-if only fires during module initialization but turns out it is triggered every single time the exec is called/ polled.

Thanks @bynect !
