Bug description

From my Android smartphone, with my official Nextcloud 3.21.0 application, when I open a ".md" file (Nextcloud Text), I receive the following push notification (i don't receive e-mail notification) : "remote user" changed {file}

Context: The notification setting "A file or folder has been changed" is active (push and email)

2 problems:

  • I receive this notification while the MarkDown file belongs to me and I modified it from my smartphone, with the Nextcloud app connected with my user. By chance I don't receive this notification when I make a modification from the web interface (in this case, no notification, which is consistent). I should never get a notification when I edit one of my files, no matter where or how I do it.
  • What really makes me think of a bug is that the notification starts with "remote user" ... it's illogical and incomprehensible. At worst, it should have my full user name instead.

To conclude, either I didn't understand the behavior and the utility of the notification parameter "A file or folder has been changed" (and I should be given arguments), or there is a bug.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable "A file or folder has been changed" push notification option
  2. Create an md file with Nextcloud Text
  3. Open it, edit it and wait for auto-saving
  4. If you have the same bug as me, you should get the push notification I described.

Expected behavior

I should not receive any such notification in this context. I don't need to be notified when I modify a file of my own.

@szaimen I've seen that you moved my issue ; I wonder if it is not a more upstream problem when reading the issue of @XueSheng-GIT ... with several use contexts (see above https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/10237) ; or should his issue (and mine) be both moved elsewhere ? Thanks for reading.

I think it is an issue within the text app.

Might be either a text or server issue with the direct editing API if the current user is not properly set in the session

I've applied https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/nextcloud/text/pull/3371.diff to my NC25 instance, but I'm still facing the issue that "remote user" is in the activity stream if markdown files are edited within the android app. Anything else which must be done to solve this issue?
