Hello, what do the notifications in the Web UI show?

[Foresteam]

Hi. About the same, but without other operations

[mgallien]

I think this has to be fixed to allow dismiss of all notifications as it should be

[danineuss]

I can confirm this issue:

Here is the web UI:

I believe this mainly requires a "Clear" or "Clear all" button.

I am running Nextcloud 3.17.1 (Linux) on Linux Mint 22.2 and KDE Plasma 5.115.0. But since the issue also persists in the web UI I don't know if this is the relevant info.

*edit: I even saw somewhere on a different issue that there used to be a button to clear the notifications but it was removed

[danineuss]

P.S. if someone wants to tell me the design decision on this, I am even happy to try and fix it myself :)

[danineuss]

PP.S.: I now saw that I can clear the notifications in the web version. This also effected the desktop client. So I guess there is this workaround for the user ... @Foresteam
