Screen shot of my screen, side by side

SUMMARY
I have a dual screen side by side set-up. Left is primary and right is secondary, system tray is on the right screen top right corner, notification is set to appear near system tray.

When I get a notification, instead of appearing on the top right of right screen, it appears on the top left of left screen with no margin/padding on the left.

Linux/KDE Plasma:
Kernel: 5.9.1-arch1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.1

I cannot reproduce on KDE Neon git master, I have tried panel on the bottom, top, moved it to my 3rd screen and tried again and the notify-send message always shows up near the tray.
Comment 2 leequickly 2020-10-25 13:12:44 UTC
It wasn't like this until recently too and I can't actually pin point when it became like this.

More info:
- Giving it a fixed location works properly
- System tray resides in a latte-panel
- No matter where the system tray is, as long as the notification position is set to near sys tray, it will go to that wrong location (top left of right screen, no padding/margin on left)
Comment 3 Justin Zobel 2020-10-26 07:55:07 UTC
I can confirm that notifications are not placed in a sane location when system tray is in latte-dock.

I tried latte-dock on each of my three screens in different locations, top/bottom/left, etc and in all of my notifications appeared slightly off centre of my primary monitor.

Sorry for the forward-dupe, but we're consolidating reports of this in Bug 499970.
