SUMMARY When using the Overview effect to display currently open windows, this includes notification bubbles in the window spread. This is not a grave issue but a minor quirk that is probably not expected behaviour for most users. If a lot of windows are open, it creates clutter. This behaviour is not present in the previous "Present Windows" effect. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Get a notification bubble (network connected, message alert, etc.) 2. Use Overview effect (for example, using a hot corner) 3. Notification bubble is included in window spread OBSERVED RESULT Notification bubble is included in the window spread. EXPECTED RESULT Notification bubble is not included in window spread, matching behaviour of previous "Present Windows" effect. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.14.14-arch1-1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Tested on Wayland, unsure if this affects X11.
Can reproduce on Wayland. Interestingly enough, if the notification is marked as persistent, it will not appear visible in the Overview; only the Plasma icon will be visible. Non-persistent notifications show the content of the notification as well for me.
I noticed today that not all notifications would appear, but struggled to figure out the commonality. Thank you!
Can reproduce on X11 too FWIW.
Can you reproduce it reliably? This doesn't occur on my machine for some reason.
Yes, it's 100% reproducible for me on both the X11 and Wayland sessions by running `sleep 3 && notify-send foo bar` and then opening the overview immediately. Similarly, I can reproduce Bug 446624 by hitting the Meta key while the Overview is open. I don't have any window rules set up.
Same problem here on wayland. Reliably reproducible.
I can't reproduce with Plasma 5.24 beta on Wayland, perhaps it warrants further testing from others on the beta. I tested the command from Nate Graham, `sleep 3 && notify-send foo bar`.
