Pop-up notifications persist on screen even after cursor hovers away

Prerequisites

• [x] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.

Describe the bug

Pop-up notifications persist on the screen when the mouse cursor hovers over them and moves away, they do not minimize and automatically go into the notifications bar.

To Reproduce

Happens only occasionally, no known way to reproduce.

Expected behavior

The pop-up should close after x number of seconds (I think it is set to 1s by default) and go into the notifications bar (the bell icon).

Platform Information

• elementary OS 5.1 Hera
• Dell XPS 13 9380 Dual Booted

• [ ] I'm using the latest version from git that I've manually compiled
• [x] I'm using the latest released stable version

Additional context

If there is a feature to disable that i.e even if the cursor hovers over the notification, the pop-up closes after x number of seconds, that would be great.

Notifications remaining on screen while hovered is the intended behavior. Closing as "Design conflict"

@danrabbit I think you misunderstood.

The issue is that sometimes when you hover over a notification it gets stuck even if you mouse away from it. It shows the x in the corner, but my mouse is already away doing other stuff. I have to hover over it again to make it go away (or click the x).

And in some rare cases this stuck state happens even without me interacting with the notification bubble at all. I noticed this e.g. after login from suspend or lockscreen. There is a notification bubble stuck in the corner with x, while my cursor is somewhere else.

One more detail: I noticed it mostly happens with system icons - sound volume, screen brightness, or wifi disconnected (this is the one I see after login every time, but gets stuck only sometimes).

I can currently confirm this issue with Planner. The notification remains sticky after minutes, even if I have already closed the app to which the notification belongs.

The issue title seems a little vague to me. The point is that the notification does not disappear again.

I can also confirm this issue too :100: ... please watch the following screen grab. What's funny is that the Rendering Went Awesome notification also got stuck after saving the screen record :)

In addition: I noticed the same for the system message announcing that my device should be put into standby mode due to inactivity. As soon as I move the mouse pointer, minimize the window, or change the browser tab, this is enough to prevent my device from entering standby mode. However, the notification remains sticky and does not disappear again unless I close it manually via the x button.

I'm closing this. There was some changes in the daemon since the time of the report, one of it was #114 that probably should have fixed this too.

If someone can still reproduce it, we can re-open.
