Description Konstantinas 2022-05-24 13:42:35 UTC

Full screen screenshot, where it is clearly visible that notification popup is not fully on screen.

SUMMARY
Half of notification popup can appear outside of screen (viewing zone), sometimes not allowing to to dismiss them.
Also if panel set to auto-hide and user tries to un-hide it while notification is present, notification overlap panel.
Problem persist only when notifications should appear near notification icon, if i choose custom position problem disappears.
Attaching picture for better explanation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Notifications popup location -> "Show near notification icon"
2. Create panel, add System Tray and few more widgets ( I add Digital Clock and Compact Shutdown )
3. Enter "System Tray Setting" -> "Entries" -> Set Notifications Visiblity to "Always hidden"
4. Enter panel edit mode
4.1. Set Visibility - Auto Hide
4.2. Set Aligment - Right
4.3. Drag panel to bottom edge, and adjust its length to first widgets ( will add picture for clearance ), so no extra space is left
5. Create notification ( i was using notify-send )

OBSERVED RESULT
Notification popup appears outside screen, cutting half or more notification popup.

EXPECTED RESULT
Notification popup fully appears on screen, having empty gap between each screen corner.

I have the same issue as well now. I was using latte dock for my panels and switched back to regular plasma panels and now notifications are partially off screen as well and lower than they should be. Did you happen to use latte dock as well and switch back to plasma panels when the issue occurred?

Hi, yeah, indeed I later switched to plasma panel when issue occurred, although I think I find workaround.
If you resize panel with system tray making it a bit wider ( a bit longer than your notification pop-up width ), bug seems to go away.
Bit busy at moment, but if you can't replicate bug & workaround, i could upload screenshots later on how i fixed it.

I noticed that the problem started after changing my panels.  I have a panel that auto hides in the bottom right that only contains the system tray.  I have another panel that is visible on the left side of my screen that contains application launcher and icons only task manager, this panel is always visible

Still present. I have a similar setup to OP; notifications top right near the icons but pops down partly outside the bounds of the the screen
