Description Gabriel Ramirez 2009-08-18 19:40:57 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I have a netbook ( screen resolution 1024x600) some notifications ( well it's only one) is too big so when I click in the notifications and jobs the notification text area covers all screen height so cannot show the windows borders and controls to close it (dismiss it), 

so I'm unable to close it or move so can show the windows controls

I tried left click, right click, in the notifications and jobs icon and the window itself but I'm unable to dismiss it, so it blocks the display of 4 notifications in the queue

the notifications have 5 notifications queued to display

so how can erase that notification to dismiss the others too

shows a notification window too big to dismiss it

the panel is set to autohide, I tried setting to always show, but the result is the same I cannot dismiss the notification window

This is similar to bug #203163 ... a lot of text seems to cause strange behaviour to notifications

Comment 3 Marco Martin 2009-11-28 15:46:29 UTC

you have an application that shows kernel oops as notifications, i noted it's pretty offending showing enormous amounts of text, it probably should be elided
