Created attachment 148129 [details] Broken notification which appears in the middle of the screen SUMMARY After every update of KDE Frameworks (or maybe Plasma) the Firefox notifications start to appear as a separate window with its own title bar in the middle of the screen, instead of appearing in the bottom right corner, like usual. One has to log out and log in again for the notifications to start appearing correctly. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.1-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz Memory: 7,6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620
Such notifications stay shown until their timeout is reached (say 7 seconds) and then are closed automatically, without being added to the notifications drawer that is accessed via the bell icon in the tray.
That's odd. It sounds like there might be something wrong with the notification system service. Does ths issue persist if you reboot the system? Have you manually installed any alternative notification systems, such as dunst?
I don't remember if I've installed alternative notification systems. As I said above this fixes itself if I log out and log in again, no need to restart. Most certainly it shouldn't be a 5.93 regression, I believe it happens regularly after an update of some KDE components. Don't know how this thing works at all, but maybe Firefox starts a new process of the newly updated file on disk to show the notification, which doesn't integrate nicely with the current older-version process? Smh like that? Not sure. I'll have to keep an eye out if it happens without an update or if it happens the next time KDE updates something. "pacman -Qs notif" gives: local/arch-audit-gtk 0.3.1-1 Arch Linux Security Update Notifications local/knotifications 5.93.0-1 (kf5) Abstraction for system notifications local/knotifyconfig 5.93.0-1 (kf5) Configuration system for KNotify local/libevent 2.1.12-1 An event notification library local/libnotify 0.7.9-2 Library for sending desktop notifications local/startup-notification 0.12-7 Monitor and display application startup local/systembus-notify 1.1-1 System bus notification daemon
FWIW this happened after KDE Plasma crashed and restarted the process automatically.
I just saw that the notification popup has the firefox logo in both the titlebar of the notification and in the Plasma taskbar... so it might be some backup way of Firefox showing notifications in its own process??
... Or maybe not as when it works correctly there is also the Firefox logo. And yes, I also saw that just now. Also I think this has fixed now without logging out and in again in Plasma, but just with restarting Firefox. Not really sure as my attention was elsewhere but I restarted the browser recently and did not logout of Plasma recently.
Also getting this, same issue, Firefox notifications with title bars. Operating System: Fedora Linux 36 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.17.6-300.fc36.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2
After reading the comments: I had to restart plasmashell early in my session as it completely stopped accepting input.
Are either of you able to reproduce this issue in Plasma 5.25 or later?
I've not seen this issue for a long while. Not sure what/when it was solved by.
How about you, Lyubomir?
Sorry for the late reply. I don't remember when was the last time this happened, but I've got many things to think about so i might've forgotten if it was recently. Close the bug (if you want so), i'll reply here if it happens again.
Sounds good.
