SUMMARY
behavior already noticed on both Arch Linux and neon dev unstable.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open kickoff, right click some entry in "Favorites" tab
2. select "Edit application..."
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma shows an unnecessary notification, as you can see in my screenshot.
Not always I can reproduce, apparently the notification appears randomly
when I follow the steps above.

EXPECTED RESULT
no notification.


SOFTWARE VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.1
Qt Version: 5.12.0 beta2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.51.0
Comment 1 Patrick Silva 2019-03-02 17:14:18 UTC
I saw this notification again on neon dev unstable a few days ago.
Unfortunately this behavior can not be reproduced consistently.
Apparently it happens randomly.

Operating System: KDE neon Developer Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.0
Comment 2 Nicolas Fella 2021-01-17 23:18:02 UTC
I cannot reproduce this, but it likely comes from one of the StatJobs in https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blob/master/src/widgets/kpropertiesdialog.cpp

It does not appear when the stat finishes quickly enough
Comment 3 Nicolas Fella 2021-12-21 00:01:19 UTC
With https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/647 the finished notification no longer sticks around. There is however still a temporary popup/progress indicator
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2022-01-07 14:13:28 UTC
Yeah this is because it did a KIO stat job and that job took more than 0.5 seconds.

IMO we should make all stat jobs silent because they don't provide particularly relevant or actionable information to the user.
