** This problem is made more annoying by the long animated splash screen that you are forced to sit through before you can get to your email message that you were notified about.  "Oh hey!  Email notification!  <click and wait through long full screen animation of Gmail logo and red progress bar as full message page reloads on a new tab>"
 
* Obnoxiously large and non-dismissable "This message was not sent to Spam because of a filter you created" alerts.
 
* Pasting text in a pop-up compose window sometimes results in text showing up in search field instead.
