To work around this issue, you can press ESC on your keyboard to close the chat after you are done, or minimize the Telegram window. This will prevent incoming chat messages from being read.
This behavior only occurs if the Telegram window is both visible and unfocused. If the window is overlapped by another application, messages will remain unread.
Incoming messages are immediately marked as read. This happens even if the computer is locked. This is problematic since messages can be read even if the user is away from their PC, and they will not be notified on mobile due to this.
Previously, Telegram also detected if the user might have been away, e.g. if there has been no input for a long time, and would stop marking messages as read. This no longer happens.
Incoming messages should remain unread until the window is focused, even if it is technically visible.
