Clicking a link to a forwarded private message clears the channel history shown.

[orthoxerox]

Description:

When I paste a quote link from a private channel into a public channel, the timestamp turns into a hyperlink (e,g., http://hostname/group/privatechannel2?msg=J9xtJrkmycDbrQSe8). When I click it, the client stays in the same channel, but all history is erased and I have to log out and back in again to view it.

Server Setup Information:

• Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 0.63.3
• Operating System: RHEL 3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64
• Deployment Method(snap/docker/tar/etc): docker
• Number of Running Instances: 1
• DB Replicaset Oplog: Disabled
• Node Version: v8.9.3
• mongoDB Version: ?

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Write a message in a private channel
2. Click three dots on the message and then "Quote"
3. Cut everything from the input box
4. Switch to another channel
5. Paste, add some text and press Enter
6. Click the timestamp inside the quote

Expected behavior:

If I have access to the channel, I'm taken to it and shown the message. If it's a channel I have no access to, I'm shown an error

Actual behavior:

I stay in the current channel, but all existing messages are erased from the screen and do no reappear even when I switch to another channel and back.

Relevant logs:

Hi @orthoxerox thanks for reporting this problem. Would be much appreciated if you could show this (perhaps a short vid/gif) erratic behavior to us?
