Yes, there are topics about this (somewhere, I’ve seen them ages ago, but the forum search won’t show me anything and Google is no use, either), yes, some bugs have easy fixes (though I don’t have the “you’re not in a guild” problem anymore, thank god), but some are still persisting, and I can’t find anything recent on those on the forum. So if anyone has info on this, or can just link me to a dev post about this, that’d be great.

1) “Flash on unread messages” doesn’t work for my guild chat tab. Map chat works, whisper/party chat works, the only one that doesn’t is the guild chat (and I’ve got only guild messages in there, nothing else). I’ve unchecked/checked the box, I’ve deleted and created a new tab, it doesn’t help. It’s getting supremely annoying that I miss guild messages while I’m in map/group chat, and no, “just remember to check in every minute or so” is not a viable solution. I forget that too often, and won’t play with an egg timer on my desk. This problem persists on both my accounts.

2) “Flash on unread messages” is over-enthusiastic. I haven’t noticed this on this account in a while, but it pops up on my alt account frequently; a chat tab will turn orange, but there are no new messages. It’s most certainly not because someone I blocked wrote something and confused the system, because until three days ago, my block list on my alt account was empty. It’s either map chat or, though rarely, group chat.

Is someone still working on this? Am I the only idiot still dealing with these problems? Will I have to resort to the aforementioned egg timer to remember checking my guild chat after all?
Just some info on whether or not a fix is being worked on (or if there is a workaround of some sort) would be amazing.

PSA: The amount of small felines serves as an indicator for just how angry I am at something.

1) Still happening to a lot of people. I’ve not heard of a solution, even though it’s been months and months and months since it was first reported in the bug forums.

2) Mine does this if someone says something and then leaves. Party chat for example will do this to me if I’m on another tab and the last person in the party types something, then leaves the party before I read it.
