Can't clear unread notification after permission change

Priority/Severity: low

Platform: Windows/Android

Description: On Windows and on Android, I’m seeing an unread personal message notification, but when I click on it, it says the page doesn’t exist or is private.

There seems to be no way for me to clear the notification since I can’t read the message.

Reproducible steps: I haven’t tried to reproduce it, but what happened was I was removed as a recipient while the message was unread, so I no longer have permission to view the message.

Does the number disappear when you reload the site?
That’s what I did to get rid of the notification for a like when someone has liked one of my posts and deleted it immediately afterwards.

Nope, still there

I was able to reproduce the issue.

Clicking Dismiss removed the notification

If you can not dismiss it from the top, maybe try dismissing it from your profile, notification tab (there is a dismiss all) ?

I guess there are 2 questions here

  1. How did the bug happen (my guess, maybe being kicked out of a PM can trigger this)?

  2. How to get this annoying notification to go away (hopefully the dismiss stuff helps)

I followed the steps from the first post

  1. Send a message to a user
  2. Remove the user from the message
  3. Log in as this user
  4. Get rid of the notification by dismissing all notifications
