            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.
