This is not only on Pop_OS!, it happens on Windows 11 as well. Knowing whether Mailspring will focus or not when clicking on a notification is uncertain. Can we raise the priority of this bug fix? It seems to have been reported a long time ago.

This is still an issue on linux. I am running Nobara 43 KDE (basically Fedora 43) and clicking the email notification just bounces the icon on the cursor and does nothing. According to Copilot nothing is implemented to receive the notification callbacks. Can this be added somehow to the roadmap?
