Description

### Steps to reproduce

Using Element on OSX 26.4.1 (25E253), and i'll have a list of unread rooms/chats, but within a few hours, and clicking around my different spaces/interacting with some rooms, I'll see that all my rooms and chats are marked as read. This has happened on an off for months.

It'll happen whether I just booted the app, or if I have a long lived session. I'm not sure what triggers it.

I had thought this could be a synchronicity issue with my Android device running Element with this same account, so I signed out last week, but this morning, I still ran into this issue with only the OSX client running.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
I expect all my rooms to remain unread until I click them
#### What happened instead?
They will all suddenly get marked as read, and I'm not sure what triggers it

### Operating system

OSX 26.4.1 (25E253)

### Application version

Version 1.12.18 (1.12.18) but this has happened for months and I've been updating regularly

### How did you install the app?

probably the website

### Homeserver

mozilla.org

### Will you send logs?

Yes
