Description
User shows up in my DM list even without us having a conversation..
See images below.
It shows that I have DMed new.User2

But we don't have any conversation

Method to reproduce
- From any channel of your choice, lets say
# general. - Click on a particular username and then,
- click conversation to start one with the user.
- Leave the DM without writing anything.
Confirm with me that that particular user stays on your DM list.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using the four steps in the report: open a user's conversation from #general, leave without sending a message, and check the DM list. Trace the DM-list and conversation entry points involved in that flow; done means a user is not listed when no conversation was created, while users with messages remain listed.
