Notification when someone with the same/similar name is referenced

[besendorf]

Description

I noticed that when someone posts a reply to someone with the same display name as myself Element notifies me as if it was a reply to my post(text in red and a sound notification)

Steps to reproduce

• have three users (A,B,C) in the same room
• set display name for A to: "user" and display name for B to "User"
• A writes "hello"
• C replys to A's message
• B gets a notification

Describe how what happens differs from what you expected.

You should only be notified when a reply is sent to your message. You should of course be also notified when your display name is mentioned in the body of a message, but not in the header of the message like the display name of someone else with a similar name.

Version information

only tested on desktop. Should be the same for web

desktop app:

Element version: 1.7.24

Isn't this related to reply fallbacks? And these notifications happening due to a "fuzzy search" in those.
