I've seen a bug report about this before and I thought David even fixed it, but I can confirm. Also happens with text vs slider (e.g. muted vs non-muted audio)
Comment 3 David Edmundson 2016-11-20 13:33:25 UTC
I thought I fixed the slider vs text ; my change wouldn't have had an impact on the different text though.
Comment 4 Alexander Mentyu 2017-11-26 14:55:31 UTC
Can confirm in:

Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition - Stable Branches
Plasma: 5.11.3
Frameworks: 5.41.0
Qt: 5.9.2
Kernel 4.10.0-38-generic

Also i notices that keyboard lang change notification appears only in Wayland.

Use more compact OSD

Summary:
A frequent complaint over the years is the size of the OSD. It was tried to alleviate that by having it start fading out slowly immediately but the way it was done wasn't ideal, didn't work on Wayland, and also causes flickering issues in recent Qt versions.
This changes the OSD to a bar-like design similar to the one used in Plasma 4.

FIXED-IN: 5.20.0

Depends on D29263

Test Plan:
Various OSD messages

It can grow, if necccessary, to accomodate translations, up to half the screen width.
With Air theme
