Description

Right now when a message is received, the pop up box temporarily shows the message, then disappears.

The bug is that on occasion, this box does not appear at all. We would also like to be able to select an option to make the box persist until it is manually closed. In Settings-->Notifications make a checkbox with a selection called "Pop Up Persist".

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.34-20171026173125+8e98953

Research direction

Start by locating the Windows GUI notification handling and the Settings > Notifications screen in the client repository. Reproduce the intermittent missing popup, then verify that notifications appear reliably and that a “Pop Up Persist” option keeps them open until manually closed.
