Description

The Nextcloud app works great for us on MacOS. But when I switch back and forth between several chats at short intervals, no messages are loaded for several seconds. So you can't write a message because the field is grayed out.
This problem is only noticeable in the app. This does not happen in the browser with Nextcloud Talk.
Strangely enough, there are also no error messages in the logs

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the macOS app by switching between several chats at short intervals, then compare the behavior with Nextcloud Talk in a browser. Done means messages load promptly and the message field remains enabled while switching chats; also verify whether the app logs provide any diagnostic information.
