This is still an issue; a newer (and still open, as of writing this) issue number for reference: #4312

Tuulenkaatoja kuntoradan Hiukkavaara–Auranmaja-välillä.

Sure, that sounds doable. 👍

I’m up for testing those packages. Would Github allow you to attach a deb to a comment here (perhaps wrapped in a Zip file)?

@Gilles’SO-stopbeingevil’ Ok, it was just my misunderstanding then; I interpreted the quote as meaning ”you should quote RHS regular expressions”.

”Except that you do need double quotes where a pattern or regular expression is expected: on the right-hand side of = or == or != or =~.” Perhaps I’m misunderstanding this, but AFAIK, a RHS regular expression (i.e. after =~) should always be unquoted (since Bash 3.2 at least).

Yup, it’s working now, thanks @ivaradi! Installed the -dbgsym packages and reproduced the segfault, here’s the gist.

(TBH, I’m just cargo culting from the wiki here, so I have no idea if this result is useful, but I do have a fairly solid way of triggering the issue, so just let me know if I should do something differently.)

I tried enabling the main/debug component for the PPA, but it just results in a bunch of ”repository […] doesn’t have the component ’main/debug'” errors when I run apt update. Should I open a separate issue about it?

This hasn’t manifested itself in ages anymore, so it’s probably fixed.

Summary

Mobile devices receive ”ghost” notifications for already read messages, when set to receive notifications ”when Away or offline”, and receiving user is set to be Away.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set ”Mobile Push Notifications” to ”Trigger push notifications when”: ”Away or offline” (and send ”For all activity”)
2. Using web interface on desktop, set your status to Away
3. (Still in the web interface) receive a message in the currently open channel (which immediately marks it read)

Expected behavior

Nothing happens on the mobile device (no notification).

Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)

The mobile device receives a notification about the already read message. The notification immediately disappears. If you weren’t looking at the device, you’re left wondering why it alerted you.

Other info

If your status is set to Online instead of Away (at step 2), the mobile device receives no notification (as expected). If ”Trigger push notifications when” is set to ”Online, away or offline” (at step 1), the mobile device receives no notification irrespective of your Online/Away status (also as expected).

Environment Information

I’m self-hosting Mattermost 5.26.1 with self-hosted MMPNS 5.22.4. Mattermost Mobile is at version 1.34.0. My mobile devices have Android 10 (Samsung) and Android 7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1).

I don’t know if this is an issue with the client or the server; I can re-report against the latter if appropriate.
