Bug 391646

if there is ongoing file transfer operation - it always displays on top of history

if there are new notifications - after opening Notifications panel popup - recent notifications are displayed on top

after scrolling to certain position in Notifications history - popup opens at that last scrolled position

do you want that the ongoing file transfer operations were at top non-scrollable fixed position?

or that if there are ongoing file transfers - history popup always scrolls up to top regardless of last scrolled position?

I want that latest entry on top is always visible when clipboard applet is opened.

Could you please attach screenshot/video - i can't figure it out)

Hi Alexander
See my gif plase. Note that the file operation progress on top is hidden when I open notification applet. I need scroll up to show it.

We abuse ListView somewhat to ensure we don't OOM when there's lots of notifications, so the stuff at the top is in ListView's "header" which it doesn't consider when placing it "at the top". Will have a look.

[Notifications] Always scroll to the top when opening

The more important recent stuff is at the top.

Obviously I meant "...notifications applet is opened".

Thank you very much for solving this annoying usability problem.

Unfortunately it's not fixed in plasma 5.12.5, Arch Linux

Can you give some concrete steps to trigger this? We're going to need to put some different sized delegates in the view and then remove some at the top to trigger it.

Hi David
Copy a big file (~500MiB) to another partition/device using Dolphin and repeat this step several times until the amount of entries shown in the notifications applet history is enough to enable the scroll bar (Each time a file operation is completed, a new entry is created in the notifications applet history).
Copy a bigger file to another partition/device and click on the notifications applet while the file operation is happening to show its progress: the file operation progress on top of the notifications applet is hidden, you need to scroll up to see it (like you can see in my gif).
Just reproduced on Arch Linux running plasma 5.13.3.
