SUMMARY When I click anywhere on a Plasma notification, it hides below the active window. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Ensure that there is a window on the corner of your screen where you expect the notification would appear 2. Make any app send a notification (I used the `notify-send` command on the terminal to easily reproduce this bug) 3. Click anywhere on the notification OBSERVED RESULT The clicked notification is hidden below the active window. When there the active window is maximized or covers the entire area where the notification appeared, it would simply disappear instead. EXPECTED RESULT Notifications would always stay on top of all windows every time they are clicked, just like in older versions of Plasma before 5.23. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.13-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Radeon RX 570 Series ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This sometimes causes the fadeout effect to appear glitchy when you dismiss the notification by clicking on the close button, but the effect itself is not broken. In addition, changing focus prevention settings or even removing all window rules did nothing to work around this behavior. As far as I know, the 5.23 update introduced this bug; I've never encountered this behavior in any older version of Plasma.

I would like to add that progress notifications, such as copying a large file with Dolphin, are not affected by this bug. They stay on top as expected if I click on them or even minimize them. Only regular notifications, i.e. those with a close button on the top right corner, are plauged by this unusual behavior.
I've tried clicking notification but it accepts events as expected. What plasma theme do you use? Can you try changing the desktop theme?
Also, can you attach the xprop output of a notification window? Run notify-send, and shortly after that run xprop and click the notification window.
Created attachment 142856 [details] xprop output This is happening on both my desktop and laptop, which both use AMDGPU graphics and run the same exact distro and Plasma version. My desktop's theme is Materia, and my laptop is using Breeze, so I don't think that this is a theme-specific issue. I've also attached the output of `xrandr -spy`. I'm pretty sure I did that correctly as I never did anything like it before.
> `xrandr -spy` Sorry, I meant `xprop -spy`. I was in a rush to post the above comment.
> _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_CRITICAL_NOTIFICATION, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION this doesn't look right. there should be also _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE. can you post the output of `xprop -root`?

Plasma 5.23.3 is coming out in a few days. Any updates to this so far?
This is still happening as of Plasma 5.24.1, and it's really annoying. Any update on this?

I've reproduced this on X11. Not on Wayland though. I have a distant memory of locating the specific commit causing it when it first happened, and after a bit of digging, I'm pretty sure it was https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1006.
David, could you investigate?
I can't reproduce on X11, - run notify-send test test -t 999999 - click on notification, it stays on top It also doesn't lose _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE as inquired by Vlad. _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION, _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL _MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0x2, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS): Client accepts input or input focus: True window id # of group leader: 0x5e00010 _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION, _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION, _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL _MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0x2, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS): Client accepts input or input focus: False window id # of group leader: 0x5e00010 _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION, _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL Are the changes when clicking on it and moving out.
