Created attachment 117037 [details] Bad notification placement SUMMARY Notifications are sometimes spawned in the wrong position, resulting in a) a portion of the notification being cut off and b) an empty blurred region STEPS TO REPRODUCE No clear-cut way to reproduce it that I know of, my apologies, it seems to happen randomly from time to time. OBSERVED RESULT Wrong notification position. EXPECTED RESULT Proper notification position. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0 Qt Version: 5.11.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Visual proof is attached.
Which plasma theme?
I get the same problem when I open up Spotify or some other media player and switch tracks really fast, it eventually shows up. And I get it regardless of the theme I'm using (mostly Breath though, by Manjaro)
P.S. Just to clarity I don't get it just when I'm skipping tracks, it's just the only surefire way of reproducing it that I know of (and even with all the skipping, it takes a long time for it to show up). But it happens with all kinds of other notifications too.

(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #1) > Which plasma theme? Yes, we're not sure if it's theme specific. In the screenshot I uploaded the theme was Arc-Color (part of the "Arc KDE" package). With that theme I (rarely) also got a cut off wi-fi notification when I logged in: https://i.ibb.co/FbvGZ0Q/Whats-App-Image-2018-12-21-at-01-57-13.jpg I've also dug up Rooty's screenshots with his Breath (or maybe Breeze AlphaBlack, he's not sure) theme: https://i.ibb.co/7KqTTMD/Whats-App-Image-2018-12-07-at-16-48-34.jpg https://i.ibb.co/MDtL4hH/Whats-App-Image-2018-12-07-at-03-03-26.jpg I'm going to test with stock Breeze to see if it occurs with it.
Caught the bugger with Breeze, albeit weirdly manifested: https://i.ibb.co/smKMDMn/Screenshot-20181221-125438.png
bug 388601 is related/duplicate
(In reply to Patrick Silva from comment #7) > bug 388601 is related/duplicate Perhaps there is a similar or same underlying cause, but for now we cannot treat it a as duplicate. This bug here was reproduced with 1x scaling. Notifications will most likely get a total redesign in 5.16 anyway so we will then have to reevaluate the statuses of our bug reports.
