Description
Description:
We are seeing an unread message indicator for a channel but no new messages in the channel. The messages will appear if we refresh the page or app. This started happening after we upgraded to v6.x.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open app and wait for new message in channel
- Look for message after channel unread indicator shows up
- Refresh app to actually see message
Expected behavior:
Messages should show automatically without refresh.
Actual behavior:
Messages don't show until refreshing the app.
