Calendar/Reminder Notifications Late
I have an issue on my MBP where calendar and reminder notifications don't show up at the proper time. I'm not quite sure when this started, but it is consistent and is especially bad on recurring events.
The problem occurs when the screensaver(*) has been manually activated via hot-corner and the screensaver is active at the time the event notification should have occurred. The notification fails to display until the time of the next notification for a calendar or reminder event that occurs when the screensaver is NOT active, then ALL notifications that have not been displayed due to the screensaver being active at the time of the notification all show up at once.
I have missed several events because of this. Often, the event showing up on my iPhone saves me, but if I have my phone muted, I miss the event. Needless to say, when the calendar is on my Mac only, and not an iCloud calendar, I always get the notification late!
Note:
(*) In the above, I explicitly reference "screensaver" but I have found that the problem also occurs if you (a) manually put the display to sleep via a hot corner; (b) manually start the screensaver via a hot corner; (c) manually put the computer to sleep via the Apple menu; (d) switch users via fast user switching. Bottom line: It appears that if the display is not active when a calendar or reminder event notification should occur, it never gets displayed until the time of the next event to display.
Relevant settings are:
Reminders: Alerts & Badge Icon are set; all other options are cleared
Calendar: Alerts & Badge Icon & Play Sound are set; all other options are cleared
DND: All clear except DND when mirroring (not mirroring when having issues)
Screen Saver: Sliding tiles, Start after 5 mins, Show with clock
Upper Left Hot Corner: Either, Start Screen Saver OR Put Display To Sleep
Security & Privacy: Require password 5 seconds after screen saver begins
macOS 10.12.6
Things I've tried:
Deleting reoccurring events and adding them back
Deleting calendar and recreating reoccurring events
Any thoughts? This is driving me nuts!
Thanks!
