Fix errant notifications for old messages

I have an issue with Textra where I will get notifications appearing for messages that are weeks old. No idea why. They occur with recently-updated conversations, but not because of new messages. For example, I exchanged some texts with someone this morning. I turn my phone on this afternoon and I have a Textra notification. The text of the notification is from a message that is months old. There are no new messages in the conversation since this morning. Later on, when turning on the phone, the same notification is back. It does not make a sound, nor does it set off the LED, but out appears again and again.

This only seems to happen to one conversation at a time. (I won't get multiple errant notifications, just one conversation at a time, and it's the same message each time).

    Same problem. Just started happening with latest update but only in my car. Annoying!

    I have the same issue. Still no response to this? It is seriously annoying.

    Same problem. Any solution?

    I have a reliable way to replicate this behaviour. (Assuming all messages are marked as read.)

    1. Open the Textra conversation list.
    2. Select the topmost conversation.
    3. Tap your phone's home button.
    4. Tap your phone's power button. Power again, and unlock.
    5. On the notification bar, you'll see the notification icon, but there don't have been any notification sound.

    Repeat this, but for step 2, select any conversation that isn't topmost in the list, or just leave it on the conversation list itself. You then won't see the notification icon.
