[Solved] KDE - knotify4 constantly uses 2% of CPU

Hello, that's for KDE users:

I recently found out that knotify4 process constantly uses 2% of CPU. Are you having this issue too?

This process can be closed with a simple SIGTERM and the process spawn again when the system play a notification sound (e.g. in a notification of permanent deleting a file) and keeps using 2% of CPU until the manual close. The notification sound can be disable (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77531), but this is not my intention because I like to have this sounds. Is this a bug?

Others is having this problem too:

I search on kde bug tracker but found nothing.
