SUMMARY In Plasma 6.2.X, you could right click on some notifications to bring up a context menu. For example, when saving an image from Firefox, you could right click and get a list of options (such as "Copy"). However in Plasma 6.3.0 it is not possible to right click to open this menu. Note that as a workaround, there is a button on the notification that displays this. But right-clicking does not work. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Activate a notification that has some data in it, such as saving an image with Firefox, exporting a video from Kdenlive, etc. 2. Right click on the notification icon on the right-hand side. 3. The context menu does not appear. OBSERVED RESULT The context menu cannot be activated on notifications in Plasma 6.3.0 EXPECTED RESULT The context menu should be available on notifications. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Any chance you could attach a screen recording of it happening? In my testing here, everything seems to be working fine. But there are a lot of kinds of notifications, so it's possible I missed something.
Created attachment 178554 [details] Plasma 6.3.0 Notification Issue
No problem, I have created a recording of this happening when saving an image from Firefox, just as described in the opening issue. When my cursor goes over the icon in the notification, I am right-clicking, although you can't actually know that from the video :-) I have also confirmed the problem on my laptop, running the same Plasma versions as it also runs Arch, although the attached recording was taken on my Desktop PC. I saw that Plasma 6.3.1 is available in the Arch repositories now, I will update and confirm if the problem still exists.
The issue still occurs on Plasma 6.3.1.
I can reproduce the issue now. I didn't even know that the icon was right-clickable! Which probably explains why I didn't notice the issue while testing for regressions with the notification code refactor in Plasma 6.3. We'll get this addressed.
