Description Ovidiu D. Niţan 2011-05-26 09:25:30 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

The notifications aren't shown when watching a full-screen video (par example) - that's a good thing, because we don't want to be disturbed by them while we concentrate on the movie's action. The problem is that they become visible when they're hiding - more exactly, when the sliding animation is performed. I tried to deactivate the sliding effect, but the bug still occurs because of the fading effect. The only way to fix this issues is to deactivate all animation effects.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Watch a movie in fullscreen mode
2. Make a notification to appear (e.g. by running "sleep 3 && notify-osd "test")

Actual Results:  
The notification's pop-up appears while it's performing the hiding animation.

Expected Results:  
The notification popups shouldn't be visible at all

I'm using the NVIDIA's proprietary driver, version 270.41.19. The Qt's version is 4.7.3.
Comment 1 Ovidiu D. Niţan 2011-05-26 15:12:50 UTC 
Actually, it seems that any window which is closing appears on top of the other windows while the closing animation effect is perfomed. So this is a bug related to KWin, not to Plasma...

Cannot reproduce.

Version: KDE SC 4.7.3 using Qt 4.7.4
OS: Arch Linux (kernel 3.1.0-4)

Video players used: smplayer, dragon player

The issue doesn't happen using the default settings (fresh user account).
Comment 3 Ovidiu D. Niţan 2012-03-04 18:20:34 UTC 
Bug still present in KDE 4.8.0

Alvaro Fernando García:
- Make sure that "Sliding popups" effect is activated in Desktop Effects
- Play a video
- Run, in terminal, "sleep 5 && notify-send test"
- Fullscreen the video

The notification should appear over the window. Here's a video describing this issue:

As you see on the video, on 00:07 the notification popup is visible while it's hiding. I'm also changing this to KWin because it seems to be a issue related to it (with BeGeneric animations, this bug still appears).

It's on my 4.9 TODO list. Hopefully I get to it
