Room remains unread after reading

[kittykat]

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a room open
2. Receive a new message in the room
3. See it below the "new" line
4. Make sure the window is focused, navigate away from the room, navigate back to the room
5. Continue seeing an unread count in the left panel and latest message marked as new in the timeline

I have definitely seen this in DMs, not sure about group chats. This may be related to the other person in the DM editing a message.

Outcome

What did you expect?

If the window is focused and I see the message, it gets marked as read

What happened instead?

Message remains unread until I scroll up and down in the timeline

Is there any chance that this is simply the intended behavior, in which the read marker disappears only after a certain length of time and amount of user interaction? It would be good to check what these values at the bottom of your preferences are:

@robintown no as Read Marker isn't related to marking things as read, Read Receipts are and those aren't configurable
