Created attachment 185367 [details] Output of dbus-monitor Plasma 6.4.5 SUMMARY Starting with version 6.4.0, notifications created using gdbus call and containing an action button are closed immediately. If I replace '["test", "ok"]' with '[]' in the command from STEPS TO REPRODUCE to remove the action, the notification is displayed correctly for the specified time. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run command: gdbus call --session --dest org.freedesktop.Notifications --object-path /org/freedesktop/Notifications --method org.freedesktop.Notifications.Notify -- test 0 '' 'test' 'test' '["test", "ok"]' '{"urgency": <byte 2>}' '30000' OBSERVED RESULT The notification is automatically closed immediately. EXPECTED RESULT The notification should appear for 30 seconds. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS This behavior is observed in all KDE Neon 6.4 live iso images including the latest unstable version: KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I recorded and attached the outputs of dbus-monitor on KDE Neon with Plasma 6.4.5 and 6.3.5. As you can see, on version 6.4, immediately after the notification is created, it is declared closed due to expiration: --- method call time=1759099105.950824 sender=:1.455 -> destination=org.freedesktop.Notifications ... signal time=1759099105.974725 sender=:1.34 -> destination=(null destination) serial=8245 path=/org/freedesktop/Notifications; interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications; member=NotificationClosed uint32 127 uint32 1 --- 1759099105 = 1759099105

That’s because we assume when the sender isn’t around anymore it will not be able to process the actions either.
So this is intentional/not a bug?
We’re technically not in-spec here but that’s also fallout from the history stuff. When the application that sent a notification closed, it cannot receive the signal for when the user clicks the action, which is why the notification is probably closed. I’d say this is a wontfix but I’ll leave the last word to Dominique
