Wire version: Version 3.3.2872 Wire for web version: Wire for Web Version 2019.05.16.0926 Operating system: Fedora Linux 30 Which antivirus software do you have installed: none

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run Wire using AppImage distribution, with GNOME desktop
2. Enable "Show Sender and Message" in the Notifications section of the Preferences area
3. Receive messages from another user

What is the expected result?

Notifications in GNOME Shell Notifier area show notification from Wire with name of sender and text of message received

What is the actual result?

Notification in GNOME Shell Notifier which says "Wire" is ready

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

I have been using Wire Desktop on Fedora (with GNOME) for quite some time (since Fedora 28, so over a year), and very recently I noticed that notifications no longer include any content from received messages, they just say that Wire "is ready". Attached is an example.

And of course immediately after I opened this issue I got another message; this time the Sender and Message were displayed for a few seconds, then that notification disappeared and was replaced with the "is ready" notification. This was repeated while I was typing this comment.

Hi @kpfleming, your version is outdated, please update to 3.9.2895 and check if the notifications have changed as I can't reproduce your issue on Gnome with version 3.9.2895.

Thanks, I've just updated, will comment here once I've confimed the behavior.

Just happened again; received a message, and the first GNOME notification was "Wire is ready." Second notification was the actual message (including sender and content), so that's an improvement over not seeing the message at all. Clicking on the top bar to display notifications shows only the "Wire is ready." notification.

Same here, Wire desktop version 3.9.2895-3; latest stable Gnome onto ArchLinux.

@kpfleming which Gnome version are you using? See Determine which version of GNOME is running.

[kpfleming]

GNOME Version 3.32.2

I can reproduce that on Ubuntu 20.10 with Gnome 3.38.3

Seems like it is an Electron issue, see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18445#issuecomment-688609239.
