Sure, report at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129942 with some screenshots and version data.
If anyone else has experienced a similar problem, I suggest they chip in on that task with their end user perspective.
Thanks, Fae

Is this change related to the standard notifications pop-up window no longer working in Chrome (it just sits waiting to get painted), or was that an existing bug?
Thanks, Fae
Hi Fae, I've just tested, and the notifications popup window is working for me in both Chrome and Chromium (and Firefox, my default). If you can still reproduce this problem, please could you either submit a bug-report to phabricator, or start a thread at the feedback page,[1] or send them to me offlist? (With details on your browser/OS versions, any javascript blocking browser extensions you might use, and if possible what errors you see in browser console.[2]) Much thanks. Quiddity / Nick

In late 2015 and early 2016, the Collaboration team worked on building a cross-wiki notification feature: listing notifications from other wikis
in
the notification panel. We made this feature available on a small set of wikis [1] initially, and about six hours ago we made it available on all wikis as a beta feature.
You can enable cross-wiki notifications by clicking the "Beta" link [2]
in
the top right corner (or top left in RTL languages) and enabling the "Enhanced notifications" setting. The notification panels (accessible through the bell and speech bubble icons in the top right/left corner)
will
now display an additional item telling you which other wikis you have unread notifications on, and you can click this item to expand it and see those notifications [3]. For more information, see the documentation on mediawiki.org [4], with mostly complete translations in 13 languages at
the
time of this writing.
Because we don't have cross-wiki preferences, enabling the beta feature
on
one wiki doesn't automatically enable it on any other wiki. However, you only have to enable the beta feature to see cross-wiki notifications on a wiki, not to get them from that wiki. For example, if you only enable the beta feature on the French Wikipedia, you will see notifications from the French Wikisource, the Spanish Wikipedia and the Upper Sorbian Wiktionary even if you haven't enabled the beta feature on those wikis. In fact, if you've had an account for a while, you are likely to see some very old notifications from wikis you haven't visited in years; Magnus Manske tweeted a screenshot of this yesterday [5].
Please try this out and let us know what you think! There's a talk page
on
mediawiki.org [6] where you can leave feedback. If you find a bug,
please
report it on Phabricator [7] or on the feedback page.
Thanks a lot to the Collaboration team [8] as well as community liaisons Nick Wilson (Quiddity) and Benoît Evellin (Trizek) for their work on this over the past few months.
