Bug ID: 508394
Summary: Notification spam after locking computer for
extendeded periods
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.4
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications

Target Milestone: 1.0
TL;DR: Plasma staggers and locks up after unlocking computer with multiple
pending notifications, and only unfreezes after processing them all.
Hello!
This is my first post on here, so please excuse any mistakes I might make (or
if I flagged the wrong product). I've noticed a repeated pattern that happens
when I leave my computer locked for medium-to-large periods of time, often to
help family and whatnot; we're talking 15 to 20 minutes of inactivity.
As context: the internet connection where I use my laptop is pretty bad, so
it's common for the connection to falter or completely die down, reconnecting
moments later. This behaviour, as expected, creates a "Network management: XYZ:
Connection 'XYZ' activated/deactivated." notification. When my user is locked,
these notifications start to pile up quickly, and when I unlock my computer,
these notifications quickly begin to be processed by plasma, which hangs and
staggers until they're ready to be displayed.
The actual displaying of notifications is completely fine. I see a wall of
notifications of connections and disconnections, but that's to be expected. The
slowing down only happens as it's trying to process things.
I've tried reinstalling the entire system to check if it was a localized
problem, but even with a fresh installation, the problem persists.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Lock user while repeatedly receiving notifications (for some amount of time,
allowing them to pile up);
2. Unlock user.
OBSERVED RESULT
Computer staggers or freezes up for some amount of time as it's processes the
notifications.
EXPECTED RESULT
Process and bundle the notifications even when the user is locked, and possibly
display a "X notifications have been received while away. Click the
notification tray icon to check them out." notification. Or allow for that
behaviour to be optionally activated if the default behaviour of displaying
them all is to be maintained.
