In 22.04 beta, Konversation started displaying meaningless numbers in a badge in its taskbar item. I would expect this to indicate the number of unread messages, or highlights, or something similar, but it seems no have no correlation with any of these: the number increases for apparently no reason, doesn't change when a highlight or ping is received, and never decreases (until the application is restarted) even if all channels and messages are marked as read.
Just found out there is a configuration module for this: the unexplained notifications come from the "Current nick used" item.
Found the issue, these numbers are coming from a channel which has notifications disabled
