Drafts of new messages are discarded when switching rooms

[thibaultamartin]

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new DM with someone
2. Start drafting your first message
3. Switch to another room (accidentally or not. For me I hit option + down arrow accidentally, when trying to move cursor one word backward with option + left arrow)
4. Your draft disappeared and you need to start over

This can be particularly frustrating when you have been working on a quite long draft before sending your first message because you're following the nohello policy and creates a feeling of distrust towards the app.

Outcome

What did you expect?

I expected to be able to get back to my draft after switching rooms accidentally.

What happened instead?

My draft disappeared and I was very sad.
