Bug ID: 512899
Summary: Notifications across multiple windows not
deterministic for which screen
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.4
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When using multiple screens with multiple panels and multiple systrays,
essentially duplicated taskbars on each screen, system notifications pop up on
the first display only, which is not ideal as that is a 15" laptop sitting at
the far end of my table where otherwise I use 2-3x 50" displays, so
notifications are lost to the side out of my field of view for me.
Bringing this up in another bug thinking related in 459082, Nate G. mentioned
this is not so much a wayland positioning issue as it is notifications unaware
of display context, and requested this as a separate issue.
At most simple solution, if it followed the top priority display from display
settings, that would usually be sufficient enough, but ideally I would prefer
and option to separately choose a display, or ALL displays even under
Notification settings separate.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect 3-4 displays, and set you preference order of displays normally
2. Add a plasma panel on the bottom to each screen
3. Add a systray dock widget for each
4. Configure notifications normally
5. Send a test notification to the desktop via whatever application
OBSERVED RESULT
Notifications from system will pop up on the built-in laptop display
EXPECTED RESULT
I would like to influence the pop to a different display, or all displays (and
resize bigger would be nice too).
