STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a chat client and navigate to a chatty chatroom like the VDG room 2. Enter Do Not Disturb mode 3. Wait 15 minutes 4. Leave Do Not Disturb mode OBSERVED RESULT A flood of on-screen notifications ensues, causing the right-hand side of the screen to be full of rapidly scrolling and disappearing notifications for the next minute. EXPECTED RESULT Nothing happens; I don't need to see all of the notifications I missed. I missed them on purpose; that's why I entered Do Not Disturb mode. I could *maybe* see the case for showing these notifications in the history popup (if they are marked as appearing in the history view), but putting them all on screen seems quite noisy and excessive to me.

We had to revert the fix as it broke the "Show in do not disturb mode" feature. We will have to find another way.
From a user perspective, I would suggest holding all the unread notifications during 'Do Not Disturb' into the applet, and once 'Do Not Disturb' expires, sending a notification with 'X Unread Notifications', and an action to open the applet to show these unread notifications.
Yeah, that makes sense to me!

I don't like this feature. I liked being able to see what I missed when I'm done with DND. I can't just use the drawer because it groups notifications by app and it can be hard to tell which notifications are the new ones and which ones are from before which just happens to be there because it's the same app, which I also find annoying, but that's a completely different matter. This should either be a setting I can turn off to go back to how it was before, or perhaps make it so that if I click the notification telling me about the other notifications I missed, it'll make all the missed notifications appear like they used to.
