Notification loses content

[dkbarn]

Sometimes I notice that the notifications displayed on the lock screen will be empty of any content. It just says "VOIP.ms SMS", but the body of the message is missing. See attached screenshots.

I haven't yet figured out the exact conditions that cause this behaviour. It doesn't happen every time. It can happen after some time has passed, for a notification that previously did show its content, but was never dismissed.

Thanks for the report -- if you can provide a consistent repro recipe that would be great.

So I've determined that this bug happens when a notification dismissal command is sent to the phone remotely. One way you could reproduce this is to download the PushBullet application onto your PC. With notification mirroring enabled, all notifications on your phone will appear in the PushBullet desktop app. Each notification has a "Dismiss" button. When you click this button, some sort of dismiss action is sent to the phone. Normally, this causes the notification to disappear entirely, but with the VOIP.ms SMS app, it leaves behind these empty "ghost" notifications.
