Picture of the bottom right of the screen.

The notification popup seems to get misaligned when the location setting is set to "Near notification icon".
The popup shouldn't be able to go outside the screen, maybe some sort of check here could help.

SUMMARY:
The notification popup seems to be misaligned when location is set to "Near notification icon".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Set notification popups location to "Near notification icon" in system settings.
2. Leave space at the bottom to create a panel like in the attachment.
3. Create a new panel at the bottom, align it to the right, set Width to Fit Content.
4. Place System Tray inside the newly created panel.
5. Make any sort of notification popup appear, for example copying a folder that needs authentication to continue.

OBSERVED RESULT:

Misaligned notification goes outside of screen border.

EXPECTED RESULT:

Popup aligned to the right side of the panel.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS:
Distribution: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

I've also tried setting it to custom in system settings and selecting the bottom-right corner which fixes it, but it looks off since the popup isn't aligned with the panel.

Can you confirm if this is x11 or wayland?
Comment 2 Terracotta 2025-08-05 12:16:50 UTC
After testing, it seems to occur on both Wayland and X11.
Comment 3 Terracotta 2025-08-05 12:30:12 UTC
Another thing I'd like to add: if the panel with the system tray is taller or about equal height to the center panel, the popup aligns correctly again.

Oops. Didn't realize I had to change the status, sorry.

The problem is the short panel. We have a bug report about this somewhere; let me go find it.
