SUMMARY Whenever I get a new SMS message, the window seems to have trouble with the break <br> between the sender and the message. I am also getting duplicate popups for each message; this is only on SMS messages, regular phone notifications are working fine. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Send test message 2. Sender and message are displayed like this: Sender<br>message 3. OBSERVED RESULT No separation between the sender and the actual message EXPECTED RESULT Clear distinction between sender and message body SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: MacOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Mint 19 XFCE (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Here is an example error message: Nov 25 19:29:15 xfce4-notifyd[2043]: Failed to set text 'SMS from me<br>Testing from my computer' from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1 char 66: Element 'markup' was closed, but the currently open element is 'br'
Could you please attach a screenshot? I don't fully understand what elements you are referring to. Duplicate SMS messages is another issue, due to both the Notifications plugin and SMS plugin handling SMS messages. You could disable the SMS plugin for now, since it has no other use until the messaging app is released
Created attachment 116511 [details] Text Message Window How do you disable the SMS plugin? I tried to hide notifications via the xfce4-notify plugin, but that didn't work.
(In reply to Douglas Summers from comment #2) > Created attachment 116511 [details] > Text Message Window Am I correct that what is shown there is an XFCE notification? The connected error message is pretty strange. I wouldn't expect <br> to need a closing </br>. I don't know if that's something KDE Connect can handle, or whether that is an XFCE bug > How do you disable the SMS plugin?

I have personally never used KDE Connect with XFCE, so I don't know what the applet looks like in that case. On the phone, simply click on your desktop in the Connected Devices section, then open the three-dot menu, select Plugin Settings, and disable the "Send SMS" plugin. (I guess that ought to be renamed to send and receive!)
I disabled the phone plugin, which killed the KDE Connect messages, but the XFCE messages still come up (only got 5 this time!). I even turned off 'Receive Notifications' from the desktop app and I still get SMS messages (via the XFCE plugin). What I don't understand is why this only affects the SMS message notifications and not the rest of my apps.
One more thing I just noticed. The KDE Connect messages are clean, but the xfce4-notify messages allow me to reply (which works).
I hid your comment because it publicly showed your phone number.
Re-posting Comment 5: Here's a sample log entry for the xfce4-notifyd plugin: [2018-11-26T10:53:44] app_name=KDE Connect summary=ZTE body=SMS from +1xxxxxxxxxx<br>Testing from my computer app_icon=mail-receive expire-timeout=0 action-id-0=1 action-label-0=Reply It seems like KDE Connect messages are correct, but for some odd reason the xfce4 plugin can't handle them. Hopefully I can find a way to disable them as they'll just dupes.

I already made it private, so only Bugzilla admins can see it.

Of course, all messages involving forwarding from the phone are created by KDE Connect. Could you attach a screenshot of the other element you are indicating, the one which you describe as "clean"?
