Version: 4.9.80 from master When clicking "X" on a notification to close it, the contents of that window slides out. The window, however, stays on screen. Either the window slides out completely, or it just closes. Currently, it looks broken.
> stays on screen What I mean is that it does not move together with the notification. It actually closes after the content has moved out.
actually is still possible to close manually, by clicking anywhere on the popup (before also had the same behavior, and kpassivepopup was this way too) the attempt of removing the x was to try to not make the user focus over an element very small to hit. a report like that is probably saying that the click to dismiss behavior is not discoverable, so may be necessary to reintroduce the x :/
Oh, right, it closes by just clicking. Once you know, it's of course easier than exactly hitting the "X". Maybe add a text at the bottom "Click to close", until the user actually tried that. This educates, informs, and once it is hidden, no longer disturbes.

it now tries to show a close button, together scroll buttons only when the mouse is over may be a good compromise between cleanliness and discoverability
committed to wrong bug #, should be 307836
I noticed the behavior is different when there is only one notification in the list, or multiple of them. When there are multiple, clicking X in them makes the respective item slide out. If you click on the master X, then the dialog just closes without any sliding. So far, so good. When there is only a single item, clicking X makes it slide out, leaving an empty window. It could simply close the window as if it was the master X.
