Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Enable threads in labs
2. Get a new threaded message sent to a room that is not muted
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
There is an indicator for a new message at the thread icon
#### What happened instead?
- The room list said that I have a new message
- When I opened the room I couldn’t find any new message at the bottom
- When I scrolled up an indicator appeared signalling that there should be a new message at the bottom of the timeline (which was not there)
- There was no indication for a new message in a thread
I actually had to open another client to find that message.
