Description

I noticed that when using the up arrow to edit a previously posted message, the message reverts to the original content if the content was since edited. ie I send 'Hello', up arrow to edit it, change the content to 'Hello!', and commit that, now when I up arrow to change the content again, the text it shows me to edit is 'Hello' again. It seems to not remember the previous edit.
