Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. URL previews have been enabled in the client
2. A new message that has a URL in it arrives in an encrypted room
3. A URL preview is shown below the message
4. Shortly after (possibly only after I scroll) the URL preview disappears
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
As the room is encrypted, I expected that a URL preview would not appear at all.
#### What happened instead?
A URL preview was briefly shown. This, in my understanding, means that the URL was sent in clear to the home server for the purpose of generating a URL preview.
