No Badge for unread messages in Desktop App after updating RC to 8.5.0

Description

Hi!
after updating the RC server to 8.5.0, messages are delivered as usual.
Both Windows and macOS apps display a “new message” notification, disapperaring after some seconds (as usual).
However, the desktop app symbol in the Windows task bar and in the macOS dock do not show a “1” badge anymore.

Any additional Information

Hi,

I can confirm that I am also experiencing this issue since updating to version 8.5.0.

The unread count badge (the red counter) is missing from the taskbar icon on Windows. This occurs consistently for me on both the Rocket.Chat Desktop App (Electron) and the PWA version.

Everything else regarding notifications seems to be working, but the badge is definitely not appearing as it did in previous versions.

I also confirm isue.

Check on 8.5.1 just released.

If it still occurs open a well documented issue.

Use a bug template and fill it in completely. You are more likely to attract attention that way.

I also confirm isue.

No point in everyone saying it. It is not going to get fixed here.

Follow my previous post - someone needs to open an issue.

Hi! The issue persists wirh 8.5.1.

Where do you want me to post the bug? Here or at GitHub? Thank you!

Github is the place for bugs.

Thanks for the bug.

Note if you post long logs it is better to attach as a file or use pastebin etc. as it makes it hard to read on mobile :frowning:

I have also messaged my contact about it. Zero guarantees on a solution though!
