Library version

ToastNotification.Messages 2.5.1

Expected behaviour

Messages should be displayed after reconnect.

Actual behaviour

Messages are not displayed/visible after reconnect.

Steps to reproduce behaviour

Run attached demo in Terminalserver sessions, disconnect user and reconnect again.

Questions

I installed VS on a the terminalserver and ran the BasicUsageExample from source in Debug with "JustMyCode" disabled.
When I disconnnect the user while a notification is still visible it will continue to work after reconnect.
Doing so after all notifications were closed it stops working. Both times there is a COMExecption thrown.
Let me know if I can check/debug something else.

Exception thrown: 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' in PresentationCore.dll
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
  HResult=0x8000FFFF
  Message=Schwerwiegender Fehler (Ausnahme von HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))
  Source=<Cannot evaluate the exception source>
  StackTrace:
<Cannot evaluate the exception stack trace>

Tracked it down to collapsing the NotificationsWindow:

ToastNotifications/Src/ToastNotifications/Display/NotificationsWindow.xaml.cs

Line 64 in 95ab84f

this.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

When setting this.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden the issue does not seem to occur.

There seem to be some obscure RDP/WPF issues at play here.

Edit: This also occurs when using the "normal" remote desktop and not only when using TerminalServer

Not sure what happend here but closing this was not on purpose.
Actually I just wanted to merge the PR of @jidel in my Fork, not closing the original Issue.

There are chances toast will not show after computer wake up or after screen saver closed.
Change this.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed; to this.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden ; solves the problem.

Toastnotifications are not displayed after reconnecting to Terminalserver (RDP) sessions
