GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 777486
closing private chat notifications causes the next message to be missed
Last modified: 2021-06-10 11:04:47 UTC
If the notification from private chats are dismissed from gnome-shell, the chat window belonging to the notification goes read-only. Also, the next message received in the same window is not shown in polari (but a shell notification of the message is shown). Eg: 1. some_nick sent me a private chat "hi" 2. I (sadiq) switched to my polari instance and clicked some_nick tab, and focused some other app (I didn't dismiss the notification) 3. some_nick sent me "Hello" 4. I dismissed the gnome shell notification I received. Result: some_nick tab in polari went gray (read only) 5. some_nick sent me "Hello again" Result: I get a shell notification "Hello again". But it is not present in polari.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Polari, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/polari/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
