That really shouldn't be happening. Are you running Linux ? A known issue is that running the game fullscreen with an odd resolution can result in button clicks not registering where they should, so you can start by checking that.

Nope, windows 7. I do have a two-monitor setup with the game on the left monitor, both 1920x1080, but I never noticed clicks happening in the wrong places otherwise.

It's consistent too... I can hide them when there's only like 2 notifications, and if I click where I knew the contract one was, it will take me to the contract window.

edit: actually, it seems almost like other notifications disappear, and the contract one invisibly sinks down near the bottom of the list. So I have to click in about the same place when there's one or two notifications as if there were 3 or 4.

Having 'fullscreen' checked doesn't seem to affect it at all.

edit2: so I think contracts occupies the second slot in the list. But also it seems the notification that travel has ended is another thing I can click on when it's hidden. That occupies the first slot.

ignore the weird audio recording I only just installed OBS and don't know how to turn it off.

It should be 1080 whenever youtube finishes processing it.
