Description

### Steps to reproduce

Clicking a notification dot on a space takes you somewhere else than clicking the space. There is no hint that this is a feature: that the dot and space itself are different buttons. There should be a tooltip, animation, other UI thingy that tells me about it.

It's not extremely bad, but it confused my enough to think that opening spaces was broken and are switching to random rooms, before figuring it out. It's probably quite as bad with counted notifications over the low priority dot I'm experiencing, but the same hint should be added.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
Just go to the space

#### What happened instead?
I am confused why I am landing in random unread rooms when switching to a space instead of the recently opened room.
