I think this is kinda fixed on the latest 9.0.2-5. You can see the badge does not show up immediately but the unread line is there and as you scroll the badge shows up.

I think we can demote and retest and see if we need to update the OP @kavimuru @izarutskaya

@youssef-lr, @fedirjh, @zanyrenney Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[zanyrenney]

Nice, thanks @mountiny <3

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[melvin-bot]

@youssef-lr, @fedirjh, @zanyrenney Still overdue 6 days?! Let's take care of this!

[melvin-bot]

@youssef-lr, @fedirjh, @zanyrenney 10 days overdue. I'm getting more depressed than Marvin.

[zanyrenney]

retesting!

[zanyrenney]

Can no longer repro, given then comment above from Vit, i think we should be good to close this one.
