Description
After I upgraded Element yesterday to 1.4.20 weird things started to happen. You can see them on attached screenshot.

As you can see on the screenshot read marker is displayed multiple times in room which has only 2 members. When I select the marker it shows list of "seen by" all form the same user. They all show the same time.
I have pruge set to 1 day on my homeserver. Element loops messages from last 24 hours (effect is visible on the screenshot). Clearing cache doesn't solve the issue however number of read markers changes. Also when I scroll up the number of read markers increases. This happens on all rooms that have messages. Rooms that have no messages inside also seem to be in some kind of loop.
My client is: Element/1.4.20 (Linux; U; Android 12; SM-F926B Build/SP1A.210812.01; Flavour GooglePlay; MatrixAndroidSdk2 1.4.20)
The problem didn't occur on any previous Element client. It is also not present on self-hosted element-web.
