dbus-monitor but this is probably some website notification (aka "spam") from your browser.

No, it isnt. Its things like printing complete, or screenshot. Ive checked

So the notification isn't unexpected but just weirdly formatted?
What's your default shell?
Do you get this from

notify-send "Foo Bar Snafu"

as well?

Yes I do! I need to hover to see the words, and each letter is a newline!
Its catpuccin Machiatto, but even without catpuccin, the same thing happens.

"catpuccin Machiatto" isn't a shell, but maybe a color scheme.
Your shell is gonna be something like bash, zsh, fish, …

Something is adding weird linebreaks and dashes into the notification.
The most obvious culprit is the notification daemon

dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionUnixProcessID 'string:'"dbus pidof org.freedesktop.Notifications" | sed '/uint32/!d; s/^\s*uint32 //g'

make sure that prints a number and then

ps aux | grep 123456

that number.

But the effect is so fringe that I suspect there's some OMZ at the bottom of this…

I'm having exactly the same issue with stretched notifications under gnome. This happened after the last gnome 46 upgrade. Any idea how to troubleshoot?

Solved.

gnome Extensions >> Disable "User Themes"

seth · 2024-04-14 06:27:54

Do you also have this weird
N-
o-
t-
i-
f-
i-
c-
a-
t-
i-
o-
n

look?
The explanation would be (likely) that the user theme adds enormous margins and leaves no space for the message to be rendered and so it gets broken up letter-by-letter…

paisley · 2024-04-14 08:51:45

Yes, exactly the same issue as the OP.

FYI I was using materia-gtk-theme

yes same here.

Also output of first command:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: The connection does not exist

It'S a bit irritating that there's no notification daemon, but have you seen https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p2164855 ?

Sigh.... Disabling user themes worked, but goodbye themes....

SOLVED: disable user themes

Arch Linux
