Screengrab showing problem.

Description of problem:

When the packagekit applet notifies you of new updates and you click on the update applet is the systray, you can't actually install the updates because the notifications popup is in the way.

It would seem reasonable for the notification to get out of your way when you 
open the relevant applet to respond to the notification.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

plasma-pk-updates-0.2-7.20160216git.fc23.x86_64
plasma-workspace-5.6.5-1.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait for updates to be available.
2. Click update icon.
3. Be annoyed.

Actual results:

You have to clear the notification before you can take the action suggested by the notification.

Expected results:

Opening the PK applet should clear the notification, or at least make the popup go away.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-25 09:27:00 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 21:14:08 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2020-09-01 23:00:14 UTC
Hmm. So the proposal here was "It would seem reasonable for the notification to get out of your way when you 
open the relevant applet to respond to the notification...Opening the PK applet should clear the notification, or at least make the popup go away."

However the "fix" seems to be: show the notification for five seconds, then have it disappear on its own. That seems quite a lot more radical than the proposal...
