Description
### Steps to reproduce
This is happening with one-line messages only. Messages that span more than one line in the room view don't manifest this bug.
When you want to reply to a single line message in a chat room, you follow these steps:
1. You hover the mouse cursor over the one-line message you want to reply to.
2. The badge with the React, Reply and Options buttons appears on the right side over the hovered message.
3. You then click on the React button.
### Outcome
The expected outcome is that the the originally hovered message is selected as the message being replied to. Instead, what was happening, was that the previous message was selected and the click on the Reply button was just ignored.
Also, and more importantly, this bug was happening before I resized the chrome tab. When I did resized it, the bug stopped happening and I wasn't able to reproduce it anymore. So, there's that — it might just be a fluke...
Anyways, it's registered here ;)
