Me: Notifications settings - alerts never go away

[shawnajean]

Not only do they not timeout, they actually collect and just fill up the screen.

Repro by changing & saving your settings at bunch at https://wordpress.com/me/notifications

Confirmed this is still a problem, although at least for me on OSX Chrome v49, the notifications stacked up along the right side of the screen, which is slightly less annoying.

This is still occurring upon save.

I'm tied up with the Jetpack 4.1 release right now. Ping @rodrigoi who worked on much of this code and @artpi, who I believe updated the notification call to redux to see if they have a better idea of how to fix.

Thanks for taking a look @ebinnion. This is not urgent just was at the top of the bug scrub so I was testing if it was still happening.

Coping my comment from #3254

I would like to see inline alerts where we auto-save when checking/unchecking a box instead of having to click "Save Settings" button but that may be out of the scope of this alert.

I would definitely +1 this. Any of these types of simple confirmations should ideally timeout pretty quickly, and just fade/slide/whatever out of view. It's pretty infuriating that it requires user interaction to effectively confirm that you've seen a confirmation!

Since this is a broader issue than just for the "Me" section (definitely also happens in the Site Settings section), it'd probably be worth just doing a sweep through all of Calypso to standardize how they work.

Re-tested this today in Safari 10.0 on OS X 10.12 — using Me > Notifications settings. It seems fixed! Notifs are not piling up, I only get one occurring at the top right of the screen for each save.

Re-opening...I'm still seeing this on Safari 10.0, Chrome v54, and Firefox v46.0. It works correctly on the main /settings pages (clearing out the old Notice when saving settings again), but the specific example below of /me/notifications doesn't clear them out:

This notification style always gets in the way of repeated operations. I let them pile up until they obscure and then Cmd+R to save clicks.

Was coming to report this bug and found this ticket. Happens to me when updating my Notification Settings in Chrome on a Mac.

I noticed this testing the new Gravatar upload feature:

I tested and confirmed this still happens on the notifications settings screen:

It feels especially intrusive on mobile, where the notices stack up and completely obscure the bottom of the screen:
