When using the single notification widget (and not that one which is included in the systray widget); the pop-up of that widget is considerable smaller and too small IMHO. Also I'm missing the headline "Notifications" in the single widget pop-up. See screenshots for comparison. Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the report The notification applet is actually not meant to be used out of the systray popup, even though technically possible. In fact, you won't get any headlines for any systray applets outside of systray as the headline is added by the systray. The applet itself is smaller because when out of systray, it is as big as it needs to be, as opposed to being in systray where the size is set by systray popup size. If you want the way the applets are displayed out of systray changed, you need to file a bug for the General component and state the general use case for all applets. All in all, everything is correct from the point of view of the notifications applet.
I see. > The notification applet is actually not meant to be used out of the systray popup, > even though technically possible. IMHO this technical possibility is a great feature, so it would be nice if the pop-ups would work just as nice. Can I just change the component field or do I need to fill a new one?
File a new one please. Otherwise this will be looked at "notifications applet bug" and nobody will bother reading it. Make it a general report about /all/ applets.
