[Bug]: When I receive a notification waybar explands and becomes 7-8 times the size in verticals pixels

[frankperrakis]

I have noticed that every time I receive a notification waybar becomes larger in size.
The only way to get waybar to look normal again is to either reload it or dismiss the notifications

Is this the expected behavior ?

All log files seem ok and they are not reporting any errors during installations

Screenshots

This is how the notification bar expands and becomes 5 times in pixel size

Environment

Cachyos running on Lenovo P14s Amd laptop ( 1900x1200 resolution with an external monitor 3440x1440)

show output of inxi -CGIsSMnr

inxi-output.txt

PS : awesome work your project rocks you are the reason I got into using hyprland

I have seen this discussed on my DC group but I failed to replicate it actually

can you check contents of your ~/.config/waybar/ModulesCustom

https://github.com/JaKooLit/Hyprland-Dots/blob/d31589183fb15b6de3e2f9ffd2b315563e7362aa/config/waybar/ModulesCustom#L136

starts from here.
cause the one on github is the one I am using

check the lines and contents of the swaync line and update accordingly

Yeah that is exactly what I am getting as well. And just recently it started to happen on every alert. When I clear the alert the size is restored to normal. I also see it when I swtich my KVM switch back to that PC. Then I have to re-select the waybar theme to restore it. Both the files you mentioned are stock from your repo. No changes in my case

I dont know I cant replicate.... I have update my system

One difference is this is occurring with CachyOS not any other Arch Distro (so far) I am using an AMD system with 780M iGPU, @frankperrakis What is your HW config ?

[JaKooLit]

he have cachyos

he attach the inxi output

re: Cachy Yes exactly that is one thing we have in common. I meant I have not seen this on any other Arch and on the same AMD system runnning Arco or NIXOS, etc it never happened. Only when I swtiched it from Nixos (your config) to CachyOS did it occur

[JaKooLit]

So this seems only happen on CachyOS

im on hyprland-git and up to date packages and I cannot replicate this issue

I am not running -git Standard hyprl;and is at 0.45. Also not sure if it's post install 0.45 but now any notification causes the issue but when I close the notification alert the waybar is restored to normal
