Created attachment 101703 [details] Two test notifications displayed, when the first one was removed previously via "swipe". Persistent notifications remain until manually removed from the "Notifications" plasmoid list. A user can remove those notifications by clicking the red X button next to them (or to a group of them, if they come from the same program), but they can also be removed by clicking on their icon and dragging it to either side (swipe). If the user uses this second method, the notification disappears from the list, but it will come back when another notification from the same program appears. There's no issue when the notification is removed from the list via X button. This can be easily tested by a number of methods to create persistent , such as notify-send with -t 0, or qdbusviewer, for instance. The swipe is much easier to do if the notification has an icon, btw. I've noticed this mainly in Plasma 5.7.x and 5.8.0 in Mageia, but also verified to still be the case under Plasma 5.8.2 in Archlinux. Cheers!
