I will try but i need specifications. It is my firts approach to this way to contribute to the KDE community.

Comment 8 Martin Klapetek 2015-04-30 12:03:47 UTC

Ok, this won't be needed, I now have a reproducible case and I know what's going on.

Notification offset using "notify-send"

Is there any update on this? Or what version it is fixed in?

I am using Fedora 24 which uses Plasma 5.7.5 and am seeing it.

Comment 11 Nick Cross 2016-11-25 14:26:10 UTC

Still seeing this under F25 with Plasma 5.8.1

Comment 12 Kai Uwe Broulik 2017-01-01 22:04:30 UTC

I fixed a couple of issues in notification placement - when you clicked a button in a notification, it would close the window but not actually free the position used by that dialog.

Since the positioning logic is very complex and fragile (e.g. X being all async and QML doing crazy layouting and what not) this fix will only be in 5.9 - it could be backported to 5.8.6 if it proves reliable enough. (Testing welcome [1])
