Bug ID: 1475521 Summary: [Wayland] Notification windows are misplaced Product: Fedora Version: 26 Component: eclipse Assignee: akurtako@redhat.com Reporter: rhbz2@genodeftest.de QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: akurtako@redhat.com, andjrobins@gmail.com, eclipse-sig@lists.fedoraproject.org, jerboaa@gmail.com, krzysztof.daniel@gmail.com, mat.booth@redhat.com, rgrunber@redhat.com
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eclipse-swt-4.7.0-2.fc26.x86_64 libwayland-client-1.13.0-1.fc26.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.24.3-1.fc26.x86_64 mutter-3.24.4-1.fc26.x86_64 gtk3-3.22.17-2.fc26.x86_64
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open eclipse on wayland (with GDK_BACKEND=wayland, which is the default behavior in a gnome/wayland session. 2. wait for a notification to happen (or trigger an eclipse bug to do so).
Actual results: Notification is displayed on screen, about 200px from top left corner
Expected results: Notification should be displayed in bottom right corner.
Additional info: wayland does not support global window positioning, see https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-get-positi...

--- Comment #1 from Mat Booth mat.booth@redhat.com --- I assume the mylyn notifications suffer from the same problem.
Eric: Can you take a look at this? How should mylyn be placing it's notifications such that it's in the same location whatever the GTK backend, assuming that's even possible?

--- Comment #2 from Christian Stadelmann rhbz2@genodeftest.de --- On wayland, SWT might use a subsurface to position the notification relative to the main window, i.e. bottom right on the window instead of bottom right on the screen.

On wayland, SWT might use a subsurface to position the notification relative to the main window, i.e. bottom right on the window instead of bottom right on the screen.
This is correct. Wayland positioning coordinates are not absolute but are relative to the parent window. Right now this is causing some issues in Eclipse such as the splash screen being out of place, and I suspect this bug is another symptom of that as well.
I've added the upstream bug that tracks this issue.

--- Comment #4 from Fedora End Of Life jkurik@fedoraproject.org --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '26'.
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 26 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.
