v3.0.1 testing notes
Well, I'll first say that I like the new layout. But the mobile tab's count badge will only count up for newly arrived messages after a manual refresh of the page. The audible notification, however, consistently fires upon each incoming message despite the absent count badge... the only way to get the badge back is a page refresh. My actions to test this are as follows: 1) I note the number of new unread incoming messages as displayed on the badge. 2) I tap on the mobile tab's icon and am taken to the latest messages for review. 3) I either hit the back arrow then the 'minimize chat' button or just the 'minimize chat' button. 4) Lastly, I inspect the mobile chat icon and notice that the count badge with its visual numeric are no longer displayed and will no longer appear when subsequent messages arrive. The badge will only appear again after a page refresh. Is there any way to fix this?
Yet another concern is there seems to be no emoji button on the desktop instance. I can type a text smiley ":-)" from the desktop chatbox and it sends fine to the destination device (as a happy face emoji)... but that's about it. Where are all the emoji options? What am I missing? There's an emoji button on the mobile instance that calls up an emoji tray menu that's filled with selectable emojis which seem to post to the text input field without issue and then transfer properly. What do I have to do to get similar functionality from the desktop instance's chatbox?
One more observation. The slide-out menu accessible from the mobile "Chats" screen seems to behave a bit strangely. Once launched, I can't seem to slide it back or otherwise get rid of it - unless I tap on 'Settings' and then on 'Done'. It seems there should be a way to cancel it without doing that.
That's it for now. I've not had a chance to test most of the other features and functions yet. I'll hopefully get to it soon, though.
