Client shows "new messages" notification for channels that are muted

(#475) Bug Needs triage notifications

Summary

Despite a channel being muted the server still shows me a "new messages" bar. image Clicking the new messages bar brings me down to the channel I have muted (in this case #flatpak) and clicking the channel, then clicking "mark as read" on the blue bar or scrolling down until the end makes the notification finally go away when I scroll back up. image

Steps to reproduce

  1. Find any channel
  2. Right-click, mute channel
  3. Click another channel and scroll so the channel you muted isn't in your channel list
  4. Await new message in muted channel
I'm not 100% if this is unique to muting "until I turn it back on" or not because that's what I'm doing.

It also gives me this notification when a message is in a muted channel. image

Can reproduce with the "new messages" pill, but not the unread indicator by the community icon. stable build 190 (44b6925), 2026-03-27 14:07:52 UTC, Chrome 146.0.0.0, Windows NT 10.0 (x64)
