Notifications Not Disappearing

Desktop Environments Plasma
1

Something strange started happening today. Notifications won’t disappear. I have to close them manually. Doesn’t matter what the notifications are for… completed downloads, moving files, all notifications seem affected.

This is happening on three different rigs, three different distros. CachyOS on a laptop, Debian SID on a laptop, and EndeavourOS on my PC. So it doesn’t seem to be a distro issue. Must be KDE Plasma itself.

:thinking:

Just updating now, I’ll get back to you soon and let you know if I get the same issue.

Yer same issue here

Oddly if I send a test notification it does not occur.

4

Strange. :thinking:

5

And the notification from this just went away also. It may just be affecting dolphin?

6

@UncleSpellbinder I have here the same problem.

7

Possibly. But of the 2 kinfo I posted, the only thing in common between them is Plasma 6.6.5. Frameworks and Qt are different versions between Debian and EOS. So maybe a Plasma 6.6.5 issue?

8

Yer its odd as the ones I get for Brave Browser disapper but the dolphin ones remain, I noticed a lot of qt packages where updated so it’s hard to figure out which one is the culprit.

I’m having the same issue…

11

I also posted on the KDE Forum. One of the KDE Devs, ngraham, responded that it’s a regression. A bug has been filed.

12

I’m also experiencing the same issue.

13

Yep, having the same thing happen to me as well. Hopefully, it gets fixed soon; this is one of those things that can drive me crazy :smiley:

14

I am on EOS running 7.0.8-arch1-1 kernel with KDE Plasma 6.6.5. Exactly the same as @UncleSpellbinder reported in the first post. I am not facing the same issue.

Can it be the theme that you are using? If possible change the theme, preferably to one that is shipped with EOS and installed to check the behavior.

15

I doubt it. It’s happening to other people with different themes. They’re talking about it on the CachyOS and KDE forums. As I posted above, a bug has been filed, and a KDE Dev stated it’s a regression related to Qt 6.11.1

16

That’s weird, my KDE (cachy) seems to still be fine with regards to notifications. I would notice, since notifications that stay around too long bug me greatly :slight_smile: I HATE the reboot needed one.

17

Cachy and Fedora are also affected. It’s a Qt bug if I’m not mistaken.
Turn off Notification and perhaps Do not group icons in Behavior of Task Manager may show the end of copies of large files.
Sorry, but I’m not a KDE matador.

18

Yeah I get that, that’s also why I said it was weird that I’m not experiencing the issue.

19

It’s not affecting all notifications so maybe you just haven’t had one that is.

20

It is. I posted a link to the bug several posts up.
