I have an rather unfortunate issue with Slack, both annoying and affecting my work. I have suspected this has happened multiple times before, but today it was certainly the case, so here goes. Consider the following:
- Have Slack installed and running
- Minimize Slack
- 30 minutes or so passes using other apps
- Receive a private message (Slack doesn’t react)
- Receive an email from Slack that I received a message
- Restore Slack window
- Slacks wakes up and catches up with the incoming messages
- The red dot appears in the systray icon that I have a private message
I’m running up-to-date Manjaro Gnome. I have no clue how to debug this, as Slack is an Electron application. Does anyone else suffer from this? What could be tried to mitigate this? (This is exactly why I have Slack sending me emails about incoming messages…)
I have Slack window now sitting in the background instead of having it minimized, but I’m rather sure it also happened with this setup… Any help appreciated. Thanks!
