Bug ID: 408800 Summary: Transient notifications are preserved in notification history Product: plasmashell Version: 5.16.0 Platform: Neon Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Notifications Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de Reporter: hal...@gmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 SUMMARY Notifications sent by D-Bus may contain a 'transient' hint to inform the notification server not to preserve the notification in the notification history, if present. The new notification system does not appear to observe this hint, as notifications marked as 'transient' appear in the history applet. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch a program that sets the "transient" hint with its notifications (e.g. Clementine) 2. Perform an action that sends a transient notification (e.g. with Clementine, start playing a song) OBSERVED RESULT Notifications are kept in the notification history if not dismissed by the user. EXPECTED RESULT Notifications should not be kept in the notification history, even if not dismissed by the user. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.16.0 (Ubuntu bionic) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0 Qt Version: 5.12.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION You can see the hint in the message using the following command prior to sending the notification: dbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'" | grep --line-buffered "member=Notify\|string\|boolean" `transient' hint specification: https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/#hints -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
