Description slartibart70 2025-01-13 12:42:56 UTC
I am using ferdium to run teams on my machine,
Everytime someone adds sth. to a chat, i get a popup over the taskbar.

In 6.2.x. and 6.3.x they pile up (list of popup windows is added to from the top) nicely.

When i was clicking on the lowest popup in 6.2, this one disappeared (same as clicking on close) and the others 'fell down' into the newly cleared desktop space.
This does not work reliably any more in 6.3

The empty space remains, if i click on other popups in the stack they disappear as well and sometimes(!) they also 'fall down' to populate the cleared space. But, not always (and i did not yet find a pattern)

I would appreciate the 6.2 behavior.... your thoughts on that?

Any chance you can attach a screen recording that shows this happening? It's rather hard to visualize.

Comment 3 slartibart70 2025-01-13 22:31:52 UTC
there you are...
All i'm doing here is clicking into the popup (which suffices to close it)

It's just not visually appealing that popups get 'stuck' up in the list instead of 'falling down'.
I never had this in 6.2

Aha! I can reproduce this issue by creating and deleting 5 widgets on the desktop. If I click the close button on the bottom-most one, the stack doesn't "move down" to take over the now free space. Should end up being the same issue.
Comment 5 slartibart70 2025-01-13 22:39:37 UTC
yes, definitely easier than simulating a meeting in teams :-)
Comment 6 Oleg 2025-03-19 20:10:48 UTC
Can confirm

Some notes:

* Definitely a 6.3 regression here.
* This applies to any persistent notifications, e.g. from Merkuro Calendar or websites in Chrome (I think https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notification/requireInteraction is the flag).
* Notifications remember that they should reposition when hovered.
* The bug has more symptoms: if I get a persistent notification on session startup, it's displayed on the left side of the screen, not the right one where the system tray is, until I move my mouse cursor over it. My guess is that it also jumped before 6.3, but without my interaction.
