Bug Description

When I connect to a web socket endpoint in the Realtime tab and switch to a different tab in the sidebar (like REST) and then switch back to the Realtime tab later all the messages that should have arrived while I was on a different tab don't show up in the log. It seems that you have to be in the tab while the message arrives for it to be registered.

I'd expect messages to be handled in the background and displayed if I switch back to the Realtime tab.

Deployment Type

Hoppscotch Cloud

Version

Hoppscotch v2025.8.1
