Icons never stop flashing

[Paul Tansom]

With some applications (so far I've seen it with Firefox, Caja and Telegram [from the flexiondotorg PPA]), the associated icon on the dock never stops flashing once the application has loaded, and even continues after it has been closed.

I have noted in the case of Firefox, where it is started from the icon pre-populated on the dock, there is a new icon created for the running application and the original icon continuously flashes.

Possibly related, but not necessarily, Telegram (from the telegram-desktop package from Universe) never shows up in the dock when running, although the same version of Telegram from the Snap package does (actually, have just checked the snap name the current version of the Telegram Snap is higher than the Universe package, but when tested they were both 1.1.19).
