Describe the bug Characters sometimes stay in the text box after sending a message in a 1-1 chat. I have to delete the message from the text box before sending a new message when this happens. This problem has persisted for days.

To reproduce Send a short message to someone in a 1-1 chat. It happens randomly when I send someone a direct message. I have not engaged with any open or closed groups so I am not sure if this can happen outside of 1-1 chats.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: iPhone 11
• OS: iOS 15.5
• Version of Session or latest commit hash VERSION 1.12.8

Is this still occurring? I've never personally seen this issue

This might be related to react-mention as well. react-mention is causing some issues, and the upstream project is not very active.

Update: sorry react-mention is Desktop only, the original report was targeting on iOS which does not use react-mention.

Has anyone been able to confirm a case in which this happens, because even with mentions i cant seem to be able to reproduce @fracting

@KeeJef no, I'm not able to reproduce this one, unfortunately (fortunately?) ^^

Closing this due to inactivity - we've also reworked how data is persisted to the database after pressing the send button since this issue was opened so it's less likely there will be a delay with the UI updated even when the database is under heavy load
