Description Christian Schubert 2009-06-30 12:54:40 UTC

Version:           1.2-alpha3 (using KDE 4.2.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I'm using a bouncer to connect to various IRC networks. The bouncer is logging the last few messages for each channel.

When connecting to the bouncer, the messages are replayed, which lead to notifications popups (plasma). Those popups do not disappear autmatically (after a timeout  and have to be manually dismissed, which is tedious for 50+ notifications.

Expected behaviour: popups disappear after a timeout and/or after konversation is activated (or maybe even after selecting the channel which triggered the notification).

Shouldn't this be a bug of Plasma? Anyway on KDE 4.3 notification system has been improved. Probably this shouldn't happen anymore.

Comment 3 Christian Schubert 2009-07-01 12:18:16 UTC

How would a user tell, whether konversation or plasma was responsible (without digging down in the source)? For me this only seems to happen with konversation, so this is for what I filed the bug. If you seem convinced, that this is not konversation's fault then, of course, you're free to make this a plasma bug.

Will retest as soon as kde 4.3 hits debian unstable.

I also have the same problem. But it seems to be a problem only when there is lots of notifications. Typical seems to be when I have more than ruffly 100.

konversation 1.2.0
kde 4.3.1
opensuse 11.2

I can't reproduce this, notifications expire just fine for me. In any case, Konversation makes no attempts to have the desktop shell show them persistently _or_ to set a timeout, so the behavior is up to the shell regardless.
