Info about screens in my setup: Screen 0: --------- Name: DP-1 Geometry: 0,0,1920x1080 Scale: 2 Refresh Rate: 59.997 Screen 1: --------- Name: DP-2 Geometry: 1920,0,1080x1920 Scale: 2 Refresh Rate: 59.997 The problem seems to be that your panel isn't automatically spanning the full width of the monitor, which causes the tray to be closer to the center, so the notifications show up close to it. Was this panel setup intentional, or not? If not, that's probably the bug. Yes, the panel doesn't span the entire width of the screen intentionally. Then I think this is intentional. :) No matter where the notifications appear, they're going to obscure *something*. If you're dissatisfied with the positioning here based on your panel width, I would recommend overriding the position to something else. |
Created attachment 133678 [details] screenshot that demonstrates the problem SUMMARY Recently, a few months ago, there was a change to improve the placement of notification windows on ultra-wide monitors. With the proposed change, notifications stay close to the ring bell system tray icon if the screen has some certain aspect ratio. However, after re-building plasma from sources today, I've noticed that notification windows are placed on my screen, which has an aspect ratio of 16:9, as if it's an ultra-wide monitor, see the attached screenshot. The problem with doing so, is that notification windows obscure whatever windows are in the middle of the screen.
