Overview: If you activate the desktop grid while the screen brightness indicator is visible, then the brightness indicator is treated as an ordinary window with respect to the grid window layout. Steps to reproduce: - Open a few windows. - Change the screen brightness, causing the indicator to appear. - Quickly activate the desktop grid before the indicator disappears. Actual and incorrect result: Each desktop gets its own brightness indicator, and any other windows are pushed aside to make room for them, until the indicators fade out and disappear. Expected result: Subjective, but I think the screen brightness indicator would most naturally be shown over anything including the desktop grid. Bonus: Here are some closely-related problems, possibly part of the same bug. - The brightness indicator is hidden while present windows is active. - The brightness indicator is not shown if you change the brightness when the desktop grid is active.
Patch at: https://phabricator.kde.org/D6835 It's a rather obvious thing - so obvious that I didn't even test it (which could bite me, but...)

What about notifications? For me in 5.10.5 notifications are still visible in desktop grid. I can move grab and move them around and so on.

This bug was about on screen notification and not about regular notifications. If notifications are a problem please report a dedicated bug report.
