Inconsistent behavior - unread messages 'red line' #16561

Description:

The unread messages 'red line' bar behavior is not 100% consistent for all cases (DMs and Rooms/Channels)

  1. It never consistently appears. This means I spend extra time figuring out which messages are new and which are old.
  2. It sometimes appears in a room I'm actively in when a new message appears. I'll be staring at the screen and see a new message appear, and a new "unread messages" red line. This is of no use and just adds noise.
  3. Leaving a room and re-joining usually clears it, but doesn't always.
  4. Sending a message does not reliably clear it either.

Expected behavior:

-> To appear whenever you go to a channel with unread history
-> To disappear when leaving the channel and going back
-> To disappear when viewing the unread messages and send one

Actual behavior:
