OK they are not and they do. (Less so when set to display right center)

>You just leave them there.
I should have the choice to dismiss them.
Also part of the problem is they are displayed too long on screen. (Timer setting)?

If I want to " interact with the rest of your UI that is underneath them" thats a pretty big hint that I want the notification to go away, not turn transparent.

Honestly who can possibly work with a load of notify bubbles hanging around. I need them to deliver the message and get out of the way.

Also this click through madness, I have never seen this implemented anywhere else and it is not expected behavior.
