Okay, out of my testing, I see possibly two scenarios that could use improvement? (maybe)
-
It seems, just clicking on the user menu avatar will prevent the spotlight from occurring (regardless if there are any notifications to be seen). I’m not sure if that is intended or not.
-
The spotlight can get invoked for a fast reply that hits the Needs Approval Queue, and not just for the Greetings PM. It also causes it to happen before the delay is actually finished. So instead of happening at 1 minute, it happened around 30 seconds because that is when my reply was put into the queue and the Needs Approval PM was sent.
I have not found any other way to stop the spotlight effect from happening (or to cause it to happen prematurely).
