This is odd cause the message shows up only in LHN but not in the room!

I am Michał from Callstack - expert contributor group. I’d like to work on this job.

I've managed to reproduce that. Can you specify what expected result should be here?

Should we display message about making a new admin in chat and LHN is previewing the message correctly or should we preview last message send in chat and ignore info about making a new admin - so LHN is previewing message incorrectly?
