Sorry, you're right, I was misreading that.

For what it's worth, a notification bar exists on each window,
not just the conversation. It may make sense to display this
on the accounts window.

The point I was failing to make is that since modals stop the
world, we should use them sparingly. But maybe this is a case
where it's warranted.

Ok.
