Bug description

When there are many notifications, say greater than 10, (which may happen when the computer was locked and I come back after a few hours), the notification tray gets flooded and overflows. There is no way to see the older notifications without removing the recent ones.

Even the clear all notifications option does not show up (it gets pushed upward).

See screenshot:

Steps to reproduce

Create a lot of notifications. This can be done with a command like the following (creates a dummy hello notifications 20 times):

for i in {1..20}; do notify-send "Hello" "Notification $i"; done

Do not close the notification when it appears. Instead, let them close on their own (after a few seconds), and let them accumulate in the notification tray.

Expected behavior

There should be a way to scroll through the notifications menu so that all of them can be accessed, and overflown notifications (as well as the clear notifications option) do not get chopped off.
