Buggy notifications when using second monitor
under review

I'm using a Windows 11 laptop. I often have it connected to a larger second monitor via HDMI, which I've marked as my "primary monitor" in windows so that games/etc display there.
What I've noticed is that when I have this second monitor connected, Akiflow often creates bugged notifications on my "non-primary" laptop's monitor, rather than on my primary one. This is already buggy behavior (since notifications should display to the primary monitor), but what makes it much worse is that these notifications cannot be closed or interacted with (see included GIF, in which I am clicking furiously). The notifications just hang on my laptop's screen until they time out after a few minutes, sometimes jumping over to my primary monitor. It seems random when a task will show to which monitor, since sometimes they do show on my primary.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Allie, thanks for reporting this. While we look into this issue, can you try if the shortcut to close notifications works? You can check and customize it in Settings > Shortcuts > General > Close notifications. Thanks!

I checked with the dev team and notifications are supposed to appear in the monitor where you have the mouse in the moment they appear, not the primary monitor.
About not being able to interact with them, could it be due to something overlapping the notifications? Let me know about the shortcut as well. Thanks for your help :)

Stefania: Hi Stefania, I checked and the command does not close notifications which spawn on the non-primary monitor. The notification is completely bugged and cannot be closed by any means other than the normal notification timeout period. I also haven't seen any evidence of overlapping notifications, it only occurs when the notification pops up on my non-primary monitor.
In addition, I feel that it's a bit strange to make notifications appear on different monitors depending on where the mouse is at the time of creation - I'd much prefer if that was a selectable behavior, or if it consistently appeared on the same monitor every time. Regardless, I feel like the issue of un-closable notifications should be looked into as a bug, as seen in my gif where I'm clicking trying to close it.

For some reason GIF did not attach - here it is:
