Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Ensure you have more notifications than visible on one page
  2. Click the dismiss all button
Expected behaviour

I can see the next page of notifications.

Actual behaviour

All notifications are dismissed and no longer visible.

This is a problem especially if there might be important notifications on the "later" pages present but these I cannot preview or see at all. So this is a button I highly avoid clicking having to dismiss the notifications one by one.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with more notifications than fit on one page, then inspect the notification list and dismiss-all control to understand how pagination and bulk dismissal interact. Done means dismissing all visible notifications no longer hides or removes notifications on later pages, with the reported reproduction steps working as expected.
