Bug ID: 392786 Summary: Persistent notifications sometimes disappear Product: plasmashell Version: 5.8.6 Platform: Debian stable OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Notifications Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de Reporter: zeratul...@hotmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 Plasma 5 makes a distinction between persistent and non-persistent notifications. For example, notify-send "Non-persistent notification" sends a non-persistent notification, while notify-send -t 0 "Persistent notification" sends a persistent notification. The different in behaviour (that I can see) is that non-persistent notifications disappear after a few seconds, and do not increment the notification count in the "Notifications" system tray icon. On the other hand, persistent notifications do increment the count, and (in principle) stick around until dismissed. However, I have noticed that sometimes even persistent notifications mysteriously disappear. It happens intemittently, and on a timescale that seems to vary from ~20 minutes to several hours, but sometimes I'll come back to my computer after several hours of absence and a notification that should be there isn't. (I know it should be there because I had the application that sent it log that it did indeed send it.) I assume this is a bug; it seems to me that persistent notifications should stick around indefinitely until they are dismissed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
