Description Leo42 2026-02-12 12:24:50 UTC 
SUMMARY
when a notification pop up is triggered while the user is looking at a window overview, the notification is not visible, but the notifications countdown-bar goes down anyway. If the notification fades out before the overview ended, the only way the user can see the notification is via the bell icon in the system tray. (If System sound is off, I often never notice there was a notification)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. trigger a notification (e.g. with `sleep 2 && notify-send ...` or https://simple-push-demo.vercel.app/ )
2. quickly go into overview mode (via a screen corner or four finger swipe down on touchpad)
3. wait for some seconds (typically >10)
4. Exit the overview

OBSERVED RESULT
You will have missed the notification.

EXPECTED RESULT
The notification countdown for fade out should only go down while the notification is actually visible.
