Milan,

I checked my calendar settings as you suggested and there was a tick on
"Display reminders in notification area only" which I am sure in Mint
19.1 before I upgraded to Mint 19.2 was off, but I am not 100% sure of
that I may be wrong.  Now that I have unticked that, the notifications
do now pop up in Workspace 1 rather than staying as an icon in the
system tray area.  This is what changed between Mint 19.1 and 19.2 and
why I commented on the OP's question as I had noticed a difference in
behaviour when I upgraded.
