Description
Description:
This has happened to me 3 times already (new server). When I create direct message with someone I am moved to that conversation but I can't write any message. The box for writing is looking like disabled one. No icons and placeholders. Can't click it.
As for now I noticed this in direct message creation and when I added someone to channel, that person couldn't write.
Turn off app/webpage or logout / login solved issue for affected chats.
Direct message is created by "Create new". By using search and chosing user - it works normally.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create direct message (tried on Electron and webpage)
- Try to click box for writing to write message
Expected behavior:
Click and write message.
Actual behavior:
Can't click box for writing, can't write message.

Research direction
Start with the Create new direct-message flow and compare it with the search-created conversation path, then check the channel-join flow described in the report. Reproduce on the webpage or Electron client using the listed steps; done means the composer is clickable and accepts messages for newly created direct messages and affected channel conversations.
