Notification-related bugs
Simon
via web
At least, I think they are bugs. They may simply be intended behaviour that I disagree with :-)
Issue 1:
* The app is closed, with background notifications turned on * A notification pops up telling me of a new mention * I swipe the notification away, without opening Carbon * A while later (probably the background refresh period?) the notification pops back up again.
I would expect that once I had cleared the notification, it would not reappear unless there was a new mention.
Issue 2:
* The app is closed, with background notifications turned on * A notification pops up telling me of a new mention (sound + message) * I open Carbon, either by tapping the notification or opening it another way * There is another sound and message to tell me of the same mention.
I only want to be notified once of any given mention / DM / whatever.
Hope this helps :-)

This has been discussed a few times here & on twitter. Background notifications are sticky, they only go away if you view and load the item. We're changing this behavior very soon and we'll make our notifications loose, so once you swipe them away you wouldn't get notified for the same again. No more sticky notifications.
A lot has changed for notifications that you'll notice in the next update, we've reworked the whole workflow of the notifications, and now they have state as opposed to the current settings that are state-less...
