      We have seen that many users of our institution's Moodle suffer from inconsistent display of unread messages counter in Course Overview block (to display the messaging welcome area, one needs to turn 'showwelcomearea' on).

      In fact, some notifications are counted as unread, though they can't be displayed in Messager. Therefore, they're stuck as unread.
      Examples: assign feedback notifications, forum notifications. Both are shown on the screenshot and both are not counted as read when visiting the Messager. We have users with 200+ unread messages, where all such messages are just notifications.

      To replicate the issue, ensure that you have web-notifications turned on in notification preferences.
