Bug ID: 501625
Summary: Keyboard layout notifications are in the center of the
screen
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: hi-an...@yandex.ru
CC: k...@privat.broulik.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
This is a regression AFAIK, I don't think it behaved that way before.
When keyboard layout switched, the popup about it is shown right in the middle
of the screen. This is very annoying, because layout change isn't like a very
important information, this should be shown elsewhere similarly to other
notifications. Even critical notifications not shown in the center of the
screen, but "layout change" somehow does.
Not only this distracts (I really-really tried to ignore this till now), but as
I just found it sometimes covers the text. You can test it yourself as:
1. Run Telegram, maximize the window, then go to a chat with someone
2. Copy-paste an image
3. Try changing the layout
You'll find that location where notification pops up fully covers the text
you're typing, meaning you now have to type text blindly every time you switch
layout.
I think the notification should obey the system-wide setting for notifications
position, which would solve this bug just fine.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up 2 or more keyboard layouts
2. Change the layout, by either clicking the "keyboard layout" widget or by
using a hotkey.
OBSERVED RESULT
"Layout change" notification appears in the center of the screen
EXPECTED RESULT
"Layout change" notification should appear elsewhere, ideally obeying the
system-wide notification settings.
