Describe the bug
The number indicator for the notifications module essentially blocks the button under it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Have swaync and, ironbar with notifications module
Have at least 1 notification
Try opening/closing the menu by clicking on the notification count

Expected behavior
With mouse above the on the notification count should imo also toggle the module's click, scroll or other events. The current behavior make it look like the module sometimes doesn't work, because you clicked on an unfortunate location.

Furthermore, when styling the notification count to make it a little bigger (as its quite small by default with my gtk theme) this issue becomes worse.

System information:

Distro: Arch Linux
Compositor: Sway 1.9
Ironbar version: 1.6.0-pre

Configuration

Share your bar configuration and stylesheet as applicable:

Config

[[end]]
type = "notifications"
show_count = true

[end.icons]
closed_none = "󰍥"
closed_some = "󱥂"
closed_dnd = "󱅯"
open_none = "󰍡"
open_some = "󱥁"
open_dnd = "󱅮"

Styles

/* notifications */

.notifications .count {
    font-size: 1rem;
    background-color: coral;
    color: white;
    border-radius: 100%;
    margin-right: 3px;
    margin-top: 3px;
    padding-left: 6px;
    padding-right: 6px;
    padding: 1px 6px;
    opacity: 1;
}
