Description Chris Taylor 2014-09-20 17:31:48 UTC
I came across this video while surfing the internet and thought it should be reported.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the report.

For improved readability, here's the video link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7-fZJaJUv8

As for those notifications, this is not related to the KNotifications framework, but rather to the underlying frameworks that provide the copy/paste features, that would be KIO and possibly also Plasma and the way it handles those KIO jobs.

Nevertheless, this are actually kdelibs4 bugs, not frameworks. I'll leave this open and reassign to KIO so that it can be made sure that these bugs are fixed in frameworks, but for future reference It would actually be more useful if bugs were reported one by one, it's easier to tackle and also track.

KDE4 is long gone; the future is 5!
Comment 3 Martin Klapetek 2018-06-30 02:45:39 UTC
While this sure was a KDE4 video, I'm not entirely sure
if those issues are actually fixed. I mean, it would
probably warrant at least some trying to reproduce these
rather than flat out dismiss them as KDE4. Many of these
parts were just directly ported to Frameworks as-is after
all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2018-06-30 13:54:10 UTC
The problem is that a YouTube video isn't a very good vehicle for reporting bugs. It's hard to collate all the issues discussed into a list of actionable work, and there's a lot of filler to sit through. Also, Bugzilla tickets need to be focused, i.e. one issue per ticket. Otherwise, if one of the issues reported therein gets fixed, you can't actually close the ticket--and if you do, the other ones get lost.

So just saying, "hey, this video shows a guy complaining about some KDE thing, you should fix it!" doesn't really help much, I'm afraid. See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting#Bug_reporting_involves_responsibility

If you're experiencing any specific issues with notifications in Plasma 5, we would welcome new bug reports to individually track them.
