New messages do not show up in current room
I first noticed the following problem today, using Safari 12.1.1 on macOS 10.14.5.
When somebody sends a new message to the room I'm currently in, the circular green "new messages" badge appears next to the room title in my list of rooms in the left column of the UI, showing the number of new messages as usual. This indicator badge still appears to update live. The new messages, however, do not show up in the message stream in the center column of the UI. I have checked that this is not a scrolling issue; however hard I try to scroll down, the messages are really not there.
I can work around this in two ways:
- Switch to another room and then switch back again.
- Refresh the page.
