WFM with nightly build and no error console entry.

It does seem inconsistent. I tested 115.7.0 and I could not reproduce the behavior, but did see entry in error console.
I don't think we need to uplift this to 115

In my case with 115.7.0 on Linux only the containing folder opens, but the message itself doesn't get selected. Maybe some timings vary on different machines/operating systems ...
