Description

### Steps to reproduce

Unknown, normal usage.

Perhaps notable is that the browser tab is pinned.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

It should continue to update and function normally.

#### What happened instead?

I was in a channel and at some point the new messages would only be there until I scrolled up, after which the messages up to November 7th would disappear.

This did not happen on another device also logged into Element web the same way with the same browser setup in the same channel.

Reloading, re-opening the browser etc. would not do anything.

I noticed that the URL was `https://app.element.io/?updated=1.11.27#/room/#...`. When I removed the `?updated=1.11.27#/` part, the issue was fixed.
