Description Richard Llom 2016-02-11 13:14:31 UTC

When using the single notification widget (and not that one which is included in the systray widget); the pop-up of that widget is considerable smaller and too small IMHO.

Also I'm missing the headline "Notifications" in the single widget pop-up.

See screenshots for comparison.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the report

The notification applet is actually not meant to be used
out of the systray popup, even though technically possible.

In fact, you won't get any headlines for any systray applets
outside of systray as the headline is added by the systray.

The applet itself is smaller because when out of systray,
it is as big as it needs to be, as opposed to being in systray
where the size is set by systray popup size.

If you want the way the applets are displayed out of systray
changed, you need to file a bug for the General component
and state the general use case for all applets.

All in all, everything is correct from the point of view
of the notifications applet.

I see.

IMHO this technical possibility is a great feature, so it would be nice if the pop-ups would work just as nice.

Can I just change the component field or do I need to fill a new one?

File a new one please. Otherwise this will be looked at "notifications
applet bug" and nobody will bother reading it.

Make it a general report about /all/ applets.
