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: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
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.
