Sometimes when you click on a private conversation or a public room you are redirected to the default channel
Steps to reproduce:
Here's how i successfully reproduced this error every time:
- Being logged in on two different browser profiles, open rocketchat on one of them. And then close it
- Then open it on the other profile and click on a private conversation or a public channel
- When you click on any element of the conversation you are redirected to the default channel
- If you reload the page, won't happen anymore until you open rocket from the other profile

Do not redirect to the default channel

Research direction
Reproduce the redirect using two browser profiles, following the listed steps on a private conversation and a public channel. Trace the browser-side channel click and navigation flow; done means clicking conversation elements keeps the selected channel instead of returning to the default channel, including before and after reload.
