Unread status not being cleared on visible buffers

Open eonpatapon opened this issue 5 months ago • 3 comments

When a tab/window contains multiple chats buffers (splitted) only the focused/active buffer is marked as read.

I'd expect that all visible buffers in the window are marked as read.

I'm wondering if this and https://github.com/ulyssa/iamb/issues/479 are two slightly different symptoms of the same issue.

Iamb only tracks which buffer currently has focus to set the read status. Buffer that are unfocused are all treated the same, regardless of whether they are visible or not.

For some users this behavior is event desirable if they want to read messages without interacting with them (like reading just notifications).

One option could be to make this configurable. It also could be nice to be able to mark conversations as 'unread' again even if they were focused.
