Bug description

The notification that warns that some group members have the same name appears over and over again, and there is no way to eliminate it permanently. Pressing the X brings the message back as soon as you re-enter the chat and clicking on the notification shows only the members' names but there is no way to tell them that "it's okay".

This bug happens to all users in the group, not just me who is an administrator.

Steps to reproduce

• have a large group (we have a group of 100 members).
• have at least 6 members with the same name
• try to delete the notification and not show it again

Actual result: Describe here what happens after you run the steps above (i.e. the buggy behaviour)

The notification persists and returns every time you re-enter the chat.

Expected result: Describe here what should happen after you run the steps above (i.e. what would be the correct behaviour)

if I press on the 'X' it is because I don't want to see this notification anymore.

I have the same bug. I want to add an extra information. When I tap on "View" I see all members that have the same name, and If I tap on "block" button, signal crash.

I don't know if @skariko has the same bug
