Is your gateway performance ok? I was having this same issue in our development server and figured out that a script was killing the gateway performance so it wasn't able to dish out the notifications to the clients. Edit: And... videos are awesome to show what is happening, but move your question from the post title into the post itself. A forum search doesn't recognize what is going on in a video to help other users.
