When putting the notification widget on the desktop (not the system tray icon), no notifications show up

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place the notification widget on the desktop
2. Resize it such that it shows notifications or says "No unread notifications"
3. Clear all notifications
4. Receive a notification

OBSERVED RESULT
No notifications are displayed, but the 'clear all' button does respond correctly

EXPECTED RESULT
Notifications should be listed like the one shown by clicking the system tray icon

Do you also have another Notifications widget active in your System Tray, or on another screen?

Comment 2 Daniel Petrov 2023-01-24 21:07:16 UTC

Yes, I have a notifications widget on the system tray.

However, this issue is recent (within a couple months), this setup did work previously.

Comment 3 Latufara 2023-02-19 09:00:31 UTC

Same here: since Plasma 5.26 the notification history is no longer shown in the widget. I use it in a sidebar and I have no other notifications widget active in system tray. As reported by PRIZ ;] only the button to clean notifications works (it gets brighter after a notification)

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2023-02-21 18:44:09 UTC

Probably a case of the history model being per-widget rather than global, and this doesn't work when you have multiple widgets. Similar to Bug 443036 and Bug 423625.

Comment 5 Latufara 2023-02-22 09:17:10 UTC

If I resize the widget (first small until it shows only the bell, then I enlarge it) the notifications appear, after clear all, the widget stops working again.

Comment 10 Grymas 2024-03-09 16:23:47 UTC

I have the same bug, notification widget seems to work until emptied then never refreshes/updates when new notifications arrive. If I resize it (to the bell and back) or recreate it, the notifications show up.
