I'm currently using the lower left/right corner to display the notifications, with my taskbar being on the left side of the screen. The notification appears about 3 cm above the lower border of the screen, meaning, if the panel was at the bottom of the screen, the offset of the notification would fit perfectly: - horizontal offset = 10px from the right edge - vertical offset = panel height + 10 px from the bottom edge Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set panel with systray to left side of the screen 2. set notification position to bottom left/middle/right 3. trigger the notification Actual Results: notification is too far away from the bottom edge Expected Results: IMHO, for a vertical panel on the LEFT and notification on the RIGHT, it should be: - horizontal = 10px from right edge - vertical = 10px from bottom edge and for a vertical panel on the LEFT and notification on the LEFT, it should be: - horizontal = panel width + 10px from the left edge - vertical = 10px from the bottom edge and for a notification in the MIDDLE, it should be - horizontal = middle of the screen - vertical = 10px from the bottom edge The 10px is eyeballed. If possible, it would be nice to make the offsets configurable, so in addition to setting the corner, you could specify the x and y offsets as well.

Thanks for the report Do you see this wrong position also after reboot/relogin?
Created attachment 96108 [details] current notification position of bottom right corner essentially the same as with the two other attachments, but for the bottom right corner
Yes, it's been like that for two days now, ever since I updated to 5.5 from 5.4

Ok. The code actually /does/ have only a small offset from panel/screen edge (like 8px, it depends on your font configuration). Can you please try with 5.5.1 (just out) and report back? There are some fixes regarding the positions. Please change bug status once you verify with 5.5.1.
(needs a comment to set as needsinfo)
Created attachment 96110 [details] sample of notification at the upper middle corner Actually, this also seems to affect the upper corners as well - I'm not usually using those positions so I didn't notice. I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using two monitors, configured as: Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3200 x 1084, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI-I-2 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 299mm 1920x1080 59.93 + 60.00* DVI-I-3 connected 1280x1024+1920+60 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 330mm x 270mm 1280x1024 60.02*+ via xorg.conf
Can you please also attach a screenshot of your whole desktop? Ie. select "Full Screen" in ksnapshot.

I've tried it with 5.5.1 and so far it seems to be working as intended, the offsets are correct now. Sorry for the jumbled replies, I'm on a slow connection so uploading the attachments took a while.
Ah, great. So I'll close this here. Feel free to reopen if you encounter the issue again.
