Summary0028200: Items on lower right look like they are overlapped.
DescriptionOn the lower right above the interface widget you'll have events, technologies, and other types of messages stack up. They appear to be overlapping poorly. It might be an aesthetic choice to make them look like a stacked deck as opposed to a stream of notifications.
TagsNo tags attached.

Yes, they're like a rolodex, on purpose. They have notches in the top and everything, to mimic those old file folders, but in a fancier format.

This really does LOOK like a bug even though it's intentional.
The visual overlap strongly resembles a UI layout bug or text size bug.

I'd prefer something like a scrolling list or visible "stack" with next/previous buttons and a stack size number.
Ideally you could mouse-wheel scroll through the stack, and they could be recorded in a Notifications Log.

In any case it hurts readability because the 2nd line of each Notification has the text cut in half when they overlap.
Increasing the overlap to fully cover the 2nd line of those stacked behind the first card could improve the clarity.
The upper card border edge-line could be thicker, or have a drop shadow, or increased contrast to separate the card layers.

FYI comments on closed/resolved tickets are unlikely to be seen. For this case I'd say discussing on discord is the way to go.
