Created attachment 104696 [details] Notifications are misplaced On Wayland in Plasma 5.9.4 (and every 5.9.x version), the notifications are often at the middle of the screen. I used the "notify-send" command to illustrate the problem and took a screenshot with Spectacle (screenshot on Wayland, yeah !). Sometimes though, they are at their correct position. Intel modesetting driver on Arch Linux.
I confirm on 5.9.4 too
The bug still occurs on Plasma 5.10 beta.
Confirmed on plasma 5.10 beta built against qt 5.9 beta 3 on Arch.
The bug still happens on Plasma 5.10 (not beta, final), whether it is with Qt 5.9 RC1 or with Qt 5.8 on Arch Linux.
I tried to fix that with a patch https://phabricator.kde.org/D3209 (but given how delicate notification code is and the fact that I added a timer which is usually bad I didn't push it yet)
I'm curious how the patch will change what we now. For me it's now: 1. First nofitication shows just like in the attachment. 2. All the rest will pop up in the upper-left corner. Tested with notify-send. What's more important - when I'm sending notifications from Konsole/Yakuake, the focus is stolen in favour of the notification. Is it related or deserves another bug report? What's also interesting is that KRunner seems to behave in a similar manner - instead of being in the middle of the top part of the screen - it's in the upper-left corner.
Turns out the notification position is also interrupted by i.e. Yakuake. Effect: http://imgur.com/a/QIbME. If Yakuake was on 100% height, the notification would be in the interrupted upper-left corner position.

I experience the same bug as Szymon does upon updating the KDE Plasma extra packages on Arch today [the version of those packages is: 5.35.0-1]. Despite it was originally believed to affect Wayland only, the issue is also present on X11. I use Yakuake as the main terminal emulator too, and I can confirm that the bug is present with Yakuake both turned off and on.
I am on KDE neon, x11, and I am getting this bug as well. Some times the notification is in the correct position, but then the next ones are in the top left corner. Only observer after kde frameworks 5.35.

I get this as well on X11 since Frameworks 5.35, but it might be a different issue.

Full HD display, no scale, X11 session. Newest packages on Arch (5.10.2). For me it was ok on 5.10.1
There is an update on this bug, but it is not totally fixed (better, but not fixed) : now, when a tooltip pops up, it still appears at the center of the screen (like on the screenshot I provided), but it rapidly moves to the correct position. This is still not good, as it should pop directly at the correct position.
I can confirm this bug under X11 session on Arch, plasma 5.10.2, qt 5.9. Sometimes notification from dolphin about finished copy/move files appears on top left corner.
I have the same problem too. Notifications pop up some time in left upper corner. KRunner sometimes pops up there too. Qt: 5.7.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.35.0 kf5-config: 1.0 plasmashell 5.10.2 Running X11 on Maui 17.06 (spin-off of Ubuntu ans Neon)
Cannot reproduce this bug in: Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition Unstable Branches live iso 20170813 KDE Plasma Version: 5.10.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.37.0 Qt Version: 5.9.1 Kernel Version: 4.10.0-32-generic OS Type: 64-bit XWayland: 1.19.3-3 Wayland: 1.14.0-1 Wayland Protocols: 1.10-1 Driver: xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+779+g2100efa1-2 Video card: Intel 4500MHD Tried Dolphin copying, notify-send from Konsole, launching KRunner - all multple times.
For Wayland: This is fixed with https://commits.kde.org/plasma-framework/fd2e850156ac7aa9c9dc2cf46652b2a1f1fc3a07 in KF5 5.35.0. For X11: See bug 381130 (fixed in KF5 5.37.0). If you can still reproduce using these versions, please add a comment or reopen the bug.
