Description gudvinr+kde 2025-02-13 09:39:48 UTC

SUMMARY

When I receive notification from telegram, there's a chance it will appear in (0,0) at top left corner and above panel.

I am not sure how to reproduce it because usually notification appears where it should be. In top right corner, under panel. Where notification area is.

I also didn't see (yet?) other notifications being misplaced, so that's why it is specific to telegram.

I have 2 panels. left dock with auto-hide and top always visible panel.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get message

OBSERVED RESULT

Notification sometimes misplaced.

EXPECTED RESULT

Notification always being near notification area.

I don't understand why I have weird artifacts on screenshot but here it is.

LOL, an automatic privacy obfuscation

Pixelation is mine, but garbled fonts and icons are not. Likely gwenview does something weird during annotation.

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2025-02-18 15:23:32 UTC

Do you by any chance have more than one Notification widget?

Sorry, why this bug was downgraded to "normal"? It is equivalent to a crash of one of the main plasma components.

Comment 11 Guido 2025-02-20 17:05:12 UTC Comment hidden (spam)

don't count the previous comment, I mixed up the bug report! Sorry!

Comment 12 Nate Graham 2025-02-20 17:05:41 UTC Comment hidden (spam)

It's not marked as a crash because it's not a crash.

I can reproduce it both on systems with multiple (multi screen setup) and (in theory) only one (single laptop screen)

Sorry, I confused with another bug report!

Comment 15 Riccardo Robecchi 2025-03-11 10:37:01 UTC

I can confirm this, though I have not understood how to reliably reproduce it. I do have two notifications widgets, one per screen.

Comment 16 gudvinr+kde 2025-03-25 16:05:49 UTC

Had this with KDE Connect too. So not only telegram.

Comment 18 Kevin Krammer 2025-07-17 15:50:38 UTC

Also have only one notification widget, classic bottom right system tray location.

Have been seeing this for a while but doesn't happen very often.

As anecdotal evidence, happens terribly often for me.
