Created attachment 151492 [details] Tilted notification icon SUMMARY Sometimes, the notification icon is tilted (see attachment). Looks like it's stuck in some frame in the animation. Don't know how to reproduce, yet. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.97 Qt Version: 5.15.5
Hi! Did this happen in a X11 session or a Wayland one? There are bugs specific to each session, so this info helps us narrow it down.
(In reply to Lemuel Simon from comment #1) > Hi! > Did this happen in a X11 session or a Wayland one? There are bugs specific > to each session, so this info helps us narrow it down. X11 session, with PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1

I've also seen this occasionally for at least a year now, both on Wayland and X11 sessions. Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 Kernel Version: 6.0.0-3-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1505M v5 @ 2.80GHz Memory: 31,2 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics P530 Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 20ENCTO1WW System Version: ThinkPad P50
This seems fixed in Plasma 6. Can you confirm, Jin? Have you seen it at all in any versions of Plasma 6?

It happens much less often, but I have seen it at least once in 6.1. Unfortunately I'm still unable to reproduce it consistently. It seems to happen when the system is under heavy load (e.g. when building KDE). So I guess it's a timing issue that might trigger when plasmashell is very slowed down.
Darn. Thanks anyway for the update.
I've never seen this again in Plasma 6.2 and 6.3. So perhaps it has fixed itself, and I'm closing this now.
Just saw this happen on current git master; re-opening. Kai found an easy way to reproduce: 1. System Settings > Notifications > Application Notifications > Other Applications > Show in history 2. `notify-send foo bar` 3. while the notification icon is visible, middle-click it to enter DND mode 4. middle-click it again to edit DND mode Now the icon is stuck in its rotated state.
Simplified steps: 1. `notify-send foo bar -h string:desktop-entry:firefox` 2. while the notification icon is visible, middle-click it to enter DND mode 3. middle-click it again to edit DND mode

Pushed by broulik into branch 'master'. applets/notifications: Explicitly set rotation in the unread state Otherwise the property isn't part of the State mechanism. If the transition animation gets interrupted (e.g. by switching to do not disturb while it's running) it won't return to its original value it seems (alwaysRunToEnd et al didn't make difference).
