 24. **Desktop: the system theme detector thread crashes without a session D-Bus** (jSystemThemeDetector `GnomeThemeDetector$DetectorThread.run`, `GnomeThemeDetector.java:119`: `readLine` returns null when `gsettings monitor` exits, then `NullPointerException` on `split`). Seen on every GitHub runner job (2026-10-22): an Ubuntu runner has no session bus, so `gsettings monitor` exits at once. A user on a Linux desktop without a session bus or without the GNOME schemas gets the same uncaught exception in a background thread; theme following stops. The `ui-tests` workflow runs the desktop tests with a session bus on a filesystem socket, so the tests do not hit it. Related: memory of an NPE in the library's KDE path on an unset `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP`.
 
-25. **A message that arrives while its chat is being opened is missing from the open chat** (desktop; formerly open flake 15.4.1b). The chat list preview shows the new message with an unread count, but the open chat's items never get it until the chat is reopened. Rare locally (1 of 4 runs), 5 tests in one GitHub runner run, where the runner is slower. `ChatListScreen.open()` now waits for app events to settle (`quiesce()`) before it clicks the row, so other tests do not race into it; `ReceivedMessagesTest.openChat_whileMessagesArrive_showsAll` clicks the row while bob's messages are arriving and is marked `@KnownAppIssue("15.5 item 25", intermittent = true)`.
+25. **After opening a chat with a new message, the message is missing or out of view** (desktop; formerly open flake 15.4.1b). The chat list preview shows the new message with an unread count; the open chat shows its beginning, with the unread button showing 1, and the message is either not in the open chat's items at all (seen when it arrived while the chat was being opened) or loaded but laid out outside the visible area (seen in `timed_chatPref_receivedMessagesDisappear` on 2026-10-22, after `open()` had waited for events to settle). Rare locally (1 of 4 runs), 5 tests in one GitHub runner run, where the runner is slower. `ChatListScreen.open()` now waits for app events to settle (`quiesce()`) before it clicks the row, and `ChatScreen.itemId()` taps the unread button once, as a user would, when the item is loaded but not shown; `ReceivedMessagesTest.openChat_whileMessagesArrive_showsAll` clicks the row while bob's messages are arriving and is marked `@KnownAppIssue("15.5 item 25", intermittent = true)`.
