Bug ID: 460012
Summary: Notification popup timer is inaccurate at higher
display refresh rates
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.5
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications

Video showing notification popup appearing for less than the selected 5 seconds
(at 120Hz refresh rate)
SUMMARY
The notification popup timer seems to assume the display refresh rate is 60Hz.
The higher the refresh rate, the shorter the time that the popup is displayed,
without changing the timer value.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings > Notifications
2. Observe the value of the popup timer (Popup > Hide after: [] seconds)
3. Open System Settings > Display and Monitor
4. Set refresh rate to a value above 60Hz, e.g. 120Hz
5. Send a test notification by opening a terminal and running `notify-send
"test"`
6. Observe how long it takes for the popup to disappear
7. Set refresh rate back to 60Hz
8. `notify-send "test"` again
9. Observe how long it takes for the popup to disappear
OBSERVED RESULT
The notification popup at 120Hz disappears in half the time that it does at
60Hz (half of the value chosen in settings).
EXPECTED RESULT
The notification popup is displayed for the number of seconds chosen in
Notifications settings regardless of display refresh rate.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Kernel 5.19.7-1-MANJARO
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.97.0
Qt Version: 5.15.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Requires a monitor capable of refresh rates over 60Hz. Interestingly, there
doesn't seem to be a problem for lower refresh rates (tested at 30Hz).
