Description

Description:

When you click a username on the left sidebar the sidebar closes, and the window reloads. This also happens on opne.rocket.chat. This also prevents the usage of the sub menu on the sidebar to hide, etc the chat in question.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Attempt to open a private chat or room on the left sidebar when using mobile device such as iphone.
  2. Rocket chat reloads and bring you to the room, using the sub menu to hide, etc is impossible.
Expected behavior:

For the sidebar list of chats open to function correctly and allow for the use of the sub menu. For rocketchat to not reload.

Actual behavior:

Rocketchat reloads and does not allow you to use the sub menu for the chat in question.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the sidebar username or room selection in an iOS mobile browser and observe the reload and submenu behavior. Trace the mobile sidebar navigation entry point to identify why selecting a chat reloads the window. Done means the chat opens without a reload and its submenu remains usable.
