Screen Stays On After Receiving SMS

Hey everyone,

After locking my phone and shutting down the screen, anytime I receive an SMS, the screen lights up and stays on.

The only way I've found to avoid this is to turn off the "notification in status bar" option within the Messaging Settings area.

This is super annoying when I receive a text late at night, wake up, and see that my phone has been on for the last 6 hours and battery drained.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
