[Bug]: 'Ghost' notification. Only disappearing when killing mako process #622

I'm experiencing notifications that stay on the screen and can't be dismissed by clicking on them or by using makoctl dismiss. Journalctl has as only logs mako[2191]: no buffer available at the time of that notification. Sending new notifications through applications or notify-send from libnotify don't even show up anymore. It's like mako's process has hanged and is stuck.

This only happens when I'm inside a fullscreen application like a game. So I imagine it has to do with that.
The notifications triggered from Discord on another monitor.

Steps to reproduce (which I hope is reproducible)

  1. Be inside a fullscreen application (in my case Final Fantasy 14)
  2. Have a notification get triggered
  3. After closing the fullscreen app, the notification is there but can't be interacted with.

I have experienced this in both KDE (wayland) and Niri.

My mako config:

default-timeout=5000
ignore-timeout=1
group-by=app-icon

[urgency=high]
border-color=#bf616a
default-timeout=0
