Bug ID: 488082
Summary: Restarted timers don't trigger "Timer complete" system
notification

Platform: Kubuntu

KDE system notification settings
SUMMARY
When a KClock timer has run out, it shows a popup within KClock as well as a
system notification. The latter only triggers once per timer, so it you have a
timer intended to remind you after e.g. 10 minutes and you then restart it to
be reminded again, it won't work as expected. The system notification may be
the only thing indicating that the timer has triggered in some scenarios, e.g.
if you have minimized XClock (or it is on another workspace) and don't have the
audio turned on.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a 5-second timer and start it.
2. The "Timer complete" system notification will appear. Dismiss it (and the
one within KClock, if needed).
3. Click the start button for the same timer, restarting it.
OBSERVED RESULT
After 5 seconds, there is no "Timer complete" system notification this time,
while the internal popup does work the same.
EXPECTED RESULT
After restarting the timer, I expected it to trigger in the same way as it did
before, i.e. with a system notification as well as the internal popup. The
latter can easily be missed in a desktop environment, e.g. if KClock is
minimized or on another desktop and the sound is turned off.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04.4
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have attached a screenshot of my KDE system notification settings. There
doesn't seem to be an application-specific setting for KClock (but under "Other
Applications", "Show popups" is enabled while the other options are not.)
