Can't CLICK on notifications - is it just me?

[sdfox7]

Did anyone ever figure out WTF is wrong here and how to fix it? I have a 27" 2017 iMac with Ventura. Ever since upgrading to Ventura, clicking on notifications doesn't do a damned thing. They just disappear when clicked. It's infuriating. I am using a magic trackpad and have a cabled mouse attached for when I'm gaming in Windows.

To get persistent notifications your settings need to be set for "alert"; "banners" go away after a while. Curious to see what you have in your settings.
