STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set Notifications->Popup position->Choose custom position and select a screen position in the popup window 2. Ensure phone contains notifications 3. Pair phone to laptop OBSERVED RESULT Notifications received from the phone all display in the centre of the screen on top of each other in quick succession. Subsequent new notifications are also displayed in the centre of the screen. EXPECTED RESULT Notifications should display in the configured screen position and scroll up/down the screen. This was the case in plasma 5.15.5 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: 5.1.3.arch1-1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.58.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0beta3 community/kdeconnect 1.3.4-1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Standard system notifications are not affected. I had set the screen position in plasma 5.15.5 but after upgrading to 5.15.90 the setting had changed to 'Near the notification icon'.
Can you attach a screenshot please
Created attachment 120204 [details] kdeconnect notifications displayed on login The notifications never display clearly but are feint and flicker.
In the case of telegram notifications, the system notification from telegram-desktop displays in the configured location (bottom right of the screen in my case) and a kdeconnect notification from telegram mobile displays in the centre of the screen. In this case the kdeconnect notification is clearly displayed. I will attach an screenshot when I get an example.
Created attachment 120222 [details] Telegram notification from mobile (kdeconnect) and desktop The desktop notification displays in the configured position but the kdeconnect notification displays centre screen.
Created attachment 120259 [details] Dolphin notification appearing centre screen So, during the course of using my laptop yesterday, kdeconnect notifications started appearing in the configured position (bottom right of screen). No settings were changed that may have caused this. Today on login the kdeconnect notifications are appearing centre screen again but in addition all system notifications are appearing centre screen. Screenshot of dolphin notification attached.
Can you paste your ~/.config/plasmanotifyrc file, please. Perhaps on login the screen geometry changes or something which might get the system confused. But it does work with the default "near notification icon" setting?
Are you using Latte Dock?
(In reply to Kai Uwe Broulik from comment #7) > Are you using Latte Dock? Yes. Strangely, on login today, the plasma desktop totally froze. Killing latte-dock brought it back.

Created attachment 120269 [details] Plasma login with a panel configured latte-dock autostart disabled. Panel configured. On login, notifications are blacked out with the artefacts as seen in the screenshot. Notification content appears after some seconds. kdeconnect notifications display centre screen stacked on top of each other and bottom right scrolling up the screen. New kdeconnect notifications display bottom right. System notifications so far display bottom right.

(In reply to Kai Uwe Broulik from comment #11) > Please try https://phabricator.kde.org/D21365 Is this a drop-in replacement for Globals.qml or does plasma-workspace need a rebuild?
Since it's QML, no recompilation is needed. You can just replace yours with that one and then restart Plasma (`plasmashell --replace`)
Created attachment 120272 [details] D21365 Login with panel Notification content appears some seconds after login. They also start to appear bottom right of screen. New kdeconnect notifications appear centre screen and then visibly slide down to the bottom right of screen.
Created attachment 120273 [details] D21365 login with latte System notification appeared blank centre screen before content being filled in. Notifications bottom right were kdeconnect notifications, content subsequently filled in after some seconds.
D21365 with latte dock, new kdeconnect notifications are appearing centre screen only and then fade out. They are not appearing bottom right, nor sliding to bottom right of screen from the centre.
I just tried on a neon dev unstable ISO from yesterday and my patch fixes Latte dock there.
I'm using Arch with the kde_unstable repo plus your D21365 patch and still see the 'D21365 login with latte' screenshot. I've enabled all testing repos but that makes no difference.
My phone accumulates quite a few notifications. Every time my phone connects to my laptop, kdeconnect sends all notifications. This results in notifications being displayed for the next couple of minutes covering up a quarter of the screen. Not really acceptable. Also, if I haven't dismissed the notifications on the phone, the next time the phone connects, all notifications are sent again. Is there a way to suppress this and just receive new notifications? I've unchecked 'Show in history' for kdeconnect but this makes no difference. Does this warrant a new bug report?
Following on from comment 19, I can view all notifications on the phone by clicking on the kdeconnect icon in the system tray.
Can you disable kdeconnect for now so we can investigate what the bug in notifications is? Kdeconnect spamming you with notifications is completely unrelated to the positioning bug we're trying to figure out here.
With kdeconnect unpaired, notifications correctly display in the configured location (bottom right).

Retested in plasma v5.17.90 kde-unstable repo. Notifications no longer display centre screen with or without kdeconnect paired.
