A screenshot of a notification

I don't know if this is part of the Plasma project or of a the single notification applet but the notifications are too large.
On Fedora I got a notification every second because of a problem and I couldn't read anything on my browser anymore. Since the notifications pop up on the monitor where my mouse/focus is, it is quite annoying. Maybe add line breaks or ... symbols to make to them smaller.

That doesn't look like a Plasma notification (looking at the button style).
Comment 2 Barade 2017-07-13 13:42:30 UTC
Well, it appeared when I was logged in with Plasma. If other applications send desktop notifications, I guess that KDE/Plasma handles them and could restrict the widget size?

Plasma notifications automatically break into multiple lines. Please report this issue to the developers of the application that generated these notifications.
