RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
User is not visually notified when someone sends him a message on a public irc channel

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
empathy-3.4.2.1-1.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to an IRC channel (e.g #desktop)
2. Hide the window (
2. Have someone send a message containing your name
  
Actual results:
The only notification is a sound alert and red font on tab (which is not visible, because the window is hidden) 

Expected results:
User should be notified in the same way, as when receiving pm from another person (notification in lower right corner, the sliding input field with chat... ) 

Additional info:

This is more of an RFE than a bug in my opinion. I filed an upstream request for it.

In any case, it would be against gnome-shell and not empathy. Re-assigning to gnome-shell.

Tthis is now working correctly, isn't it? Close please as current release if you consider it fixed. Thanks

Yup, it's in-line with all the other notifications now.
