Description yamiyukisenpai 2019-10-17 20:01:28 UTC 
SUMMARY
Back in Plasma 5.16, I was able to control how the notification system will handle applications, like QBitTorrent (i.e. have it placed on the notification drop down without popping up).  However, I can't anymore in 5.17.

OBSERVED RESULTS
I noticed that Discord may notify me, but they don't get sent to the notification tray.

Are the affected notifications all Snaps? or distro-provided apps too? Can you provide a list of apps?

Both Snaps and the ones in Ubuntu's repo.  Some examples are:
* qBittorrent (from Ubuntu's repo)
* Discord (from Snap store)
* Telegram (from Snap store)

They just popup, but they don't stay in the tray.

Oh so you mean they don't appear in the history anymore after they time out?

Yea, and I can't configure them to show up.

Do you have the following setting unchecked?

System Settings > Notifications > Applications: Configure... > [Click on one of the apps in question in the list] > Show in History

Not appearing on the list

That's strange. Can you attach a screenshot of the list? Seems like it's missing a lot of entries.

I see a ton of applications there. I don't see Discord, qBitTorrent, or Telegram though, which explains why things aren't working properly for them.

This is an issue with those apps or their packaging. Please report upstream. Thanks!
