Research direction
The issue is a visual overlap between two notification elements. To reproduce, examine the notification component in the codebase, likely in src/components/notifications. The overlap likely occurs due to missing flexbox or grid layout, or incorrect z index. A fix could involve adjusting the CSS to prevent overlapping, such as using position: relative with margin or changing from absolute positioning to a flex layout. The screenshot shows the uncategorized transactions notification overlapping the bank sync notification. The fix should ensure notifications stack vertically without overlapping.
