folders' unread counter counts unread topics instead of unread chats

[RememberTheAir]

Steps to reproduce

1. create a folder
2. manually include some chats and at least one topic chat
3. wait for some messages to be sent in one of the non-topic chats and in 2+ topics

It's probably important to mention that I have the "count unread messages" option disabled, so the app counts chats instead of messages

Expected behaviour

The folder's unread counter counts the number of unique chats

Actual behaviour

The unread counter's count is the result of the sum of unread non-topic chats and the number of single unread topics. For example, let's say we have three unread chats in a folder: A, B, C. A and B are normal chats, while C is a topic chat, and there are three unread topics in this chat. The unread counter will show that there are 5 unread chats in this tab: 1 + 1 + 3

This might be the intended behavior on desktop, but it's inconsistent with mobile apps, where single chats are counted

Also, if you don't check chat with topics long enough, it won't count as unread chat at all. I have 4 chats in folder, 1 chat with topics. And folder shows 3 unreaded chats instead of 4 (or instead 3 + number of unreaded topics).

bump, this is still a distracting inconsistency with the mobile apps

this still works differently than the Android/iOS app. Is this intended?

[RememberTheAir]

any comment on this? it looks like it is not considered a bug, just wanted to make sure that the fact that from android my folder unread counter says 1 and from desktop it says 12 is intended

unstale, the mobile apps still behave differently

I just want to add that this issue is indeed very inconvenient.

[RememberTheAir]

yes, this needs to be fixed either here or on the mobile apps. @john-preston is this intended and going to stay this way?
