I just found the reproducer for this:

On a newly created account the bug is not present. To reproduce follow these steps:

1. Open the app on the home screen.
2. Long press on any room and tap Notifications.
3. Change the room to Notifications and Keywords and tap save.
4. Force quit the app.
5. Enjoy mentions everywhere throughout the app!

From the public room:

I figured out a work-around for red text. Tap-hold the channel, go to notifications and select none. Setting to All Messages (default) or Mentions and Keywords Only will just highlight everything in red on iOS.

Ok but that isn’t so much a fix for this unless the intent is to say, “surprise! unless you don’t ever want to get notified, red is the new colour” unless of course the user settings supersede? Not being sarcastic, legit wondering.

Long shot but could this possibly relate to the deprecation of the dont_notify action? The client-side changes for this are in 1.10.13 only (b7d008d & 12159cc).

I'm just adding information to the issue that will be useful for debugging. It definitely wasn't a suggestion to do that :)

It's probably due to the new .m.is_room_mention rule, there is no condition checker for the kind event_property_is in MXNotificationCenter.
Here is the log:
Element[96168:878235] [MXNotificationCenter] Warning: There is no MXPushRuleConditionChecker to check condition of kind: event_property_is

This issue is caused by Synapse version 1.86!
Do anyone know where to find the dpkg of Synapse 1.85.2 to downgrade?

@Johennes 1.10.13 has the same issue! It's related to Synapse 1.86 - that release broke it. 1.10.13 was fine with 1.85.2 and broke with 1.86.
I'm now looking for the DEB package of Synapse 1.85.2 to downgrade until they fixed it. Any idea where I can download it? It's not in the Github assets.
