Search on e.cash on desktop isn't navigating to the chat I selected, it's staying on an old chat. Details in :thred:
e.cash desktop is in the background
command+space, type exp to bring to foreground
command+k, type deet for Scott Deeter, Scott is highlighted at top
Click Enter
Version
Version 1.0.73-3 (1.0.73-3)
Notes
It's early in the morning and my comp has been asleep all night, random guess but it could be related to that? (edited)
It might be happening when...
User A is most recent chat at top
e.cash is backgrounded.
e.cash is brought to foreground with User A at top
Another user is searched for
Search doesn't return new user but still shows User A.
You might have to try a couple times

Triggered auto assignment to @francoisl (Engineering), see https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/4319 for more details.

Not sure I understand the reproduction steps

User A is most recent chat at top

Top of the chats list in the left menu, or in the quick switcher? And, top as in the first entry in the list if there are multiple? Or top as in it's the active chat?
Anyway I can't see any chat switching issues on v1.0.75-4 (staging version), both desktop and web, can you try again on that version please?

@francoisl I uploaded a vid here but it has personal chat details so it's only viewable to internal Expensify folks. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ngIBwYXSEgtFHg8Lg53Ot9OGhrD9qVrQ/view?usp=sharing. It's not related to the chat switcher for the main message pane

User A is most recent chat at top
It's in the main message pane with a user. Using the below screenshot as an example, most recent chat would be the most recent chat sent but it would show at the two older ones that are below it.

Thanks Matt for the video, that makes it clearer. I can't reproduce on v1.0.75-5 (staging version atm). Let's see if you guys can still reproduce when it's promoted to the production version, but it seems like it's already resolved.

This is happening again but to repro steps are different, I'm confident it's the same issue though. I'm going to assign to myself and make it a weekly to see if I can outline the repro stuff AND get others to actually reproduce
