PNotify 2.0.1 Stick w/ after_close

I know it is an older version, unfortunately it isn't a simple thing for me to just upgrade it at this point in time.

What I'm trying to do is show a stick notice (very simple, already done), and have an 'after_close' that will place the focus back onto an input box on the screen.

The issue I'm having is that if the user clicks on the 'x' to close the sticky notice, the after_close never executes, I have also tried before_close and after_open, none of them appear to be firing when the notice has 'hide: false'.

Example:

new PNotify({
        title: "PLEASE READ",
        text: "MESSAGE",
        type: "info",
        hide: false,
        after_close: function(notice, timer_hide) { 
          mainPageSearchBox.focus().val(""); alert("test"); 
        }
      });
