Description
### Steps to reproduce
I wrote a long message starting with a slash "/". It wasn't intended as command and at that time I didn't know, that a slash starts a command.
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
At least the message should be send or stay in the text input field for further editing.
Ideally there should be some help for non-technical users, which don't understand that messages starting with a slash are interpreted as command.
The [desktop client](https://github.com/element-hq/element-desktop) actually asks the user if the _"unknown command"_ was actually meant as message.
#### What happened instead?
Element showed an "unknown command" dialog and deleted the message from the text input field without sending it.
_(a message that was maybe crafted over many minutes shouldn't just be "deleted")_
