Describe the bug

Clicking on a notification opens not the direct chat that was the source of the notification, but another chat last opened in the RC window.

In other words:
I've been text with John.
I minimized the RC window.
After a while, a message from David comes in and a notification.
I click on the notification.
The direct with John, not David, opens.

How to Reproduce
  1. Minimize RC with user 1.
  2. Wait for notification from user 2.
  3. Click on it.
Describe your Expected behavior

The direct window opens with user 2.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Reproduce the Windows desktop scenario by minimizing a direct chat, receiving a notification from another user, and selecting it; the work is done when the notification opens the direct chat that sent it rather than the previously open chat.
