Summary18506: Save pop-up bar obscures tool bars
Description

Messages like "Question saved" and "Survey settings were successfully saved" appear in a pop-up bar at the top of the admin interface in response to button clicks, to show success status. They cover links at the top of the page and don't always disappear on their own. This is such a small issue but it's bothered me for years. Is there a setting I'm not seeing that will change the format of these notices so they're not pop-ups? Or to only have them appear when something goes wrong, or disappear quickly? If I click 'save' I will assume that what I asked to be saved will be saved unless I am told otherwise... but of course I don't want to hide them with CSS because I'd miss important error messages

This seems to be an annoying issue for a couple of users in the forum, including me. I don't find the notification useful, as it is. I'd rather have the button in a different state or something, like we are used from other cloud applications. The layer is covering important navigation items and adds a click to the work, without really providing added value.

Either we should have a designated space for this (but don't make the GUI move up and down) or a button, or symbol that changes state.

The way it currently is, it does more "harm" than good. So while we revamp the GUI, we should have a look into this.

@tammo and @holch : remind to click on "This bug affects 1 person(s). Does this bug affect you?"

Totally agree. Don't use modals for something that has succeeded. Don't use them at all for notifications, except (maybe) when there is something blocking.

@ollehar, can we assign this one to a developer?

There are various people at the forum saying they are annoyed of this (https://forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-with-limesurvey/128668-can-the-pop-up-toast-notifications-in-the-admin-interface-be-disabled) and some customer approached us with the same question.
When working on surveys, I also find these messages not very user friendly. They overlap the main interface and often you need to click the X to make them disappear to access certain UI elements.

? What ?

The best solution are don't use toast notification, por put it at a place where he can't hide action button.
Here : it's just disappear more quickly.

@ollehar, please see the helpful comments e.g. by @holch above. These notifications are really annoying and of no big help. Maybe simply add some CSS to move it to a less disturbing place on screen where this is not overlapping important UI elements. Or make if show up for a second only or simply ask your UI expert what they say.

I don't see the dedicated fixed place here.

A fixed place empty by default with a fixed height. Adding notification inside.

Yeah, that's the improvement. I don't have access to our UX person, but I can forward any request, sure.
