The read marker is stuck in the past

[giomfo]

Steps to reproduce

1- read all messages (reset a potential read marker by dismissing the "Jump to unread" banner)
2- navigate outside the room
3- send with another room member several messages (> 30), enough to not display the last read message
4- open again the room, the "Jump to unread" banner is displayed : OK
5- click on this banner, the timeline jump to the first unread message: OK (the unread messages marker may be displayed outside the screen just at the top. Scroll up to see it)
6- Jump back to live position by clicking on the icon displayed at the bottom right.

Outcome

What did you expect?

The read marker should be updated. The "jump to unread" banner should disappear if all messages have been read

What happened instead?

The read marker is stuck in the past, the "jump to unread" banner is still visible

When you use "Jump to bottom" button, it's made on purpose to not make your read marker updated as you are still not seing the messages in between. If you want to unstuck, just use the "jump to unread" close button.

The read marker should be updated at the most recent event visible before I use "Jump to bottom". In my video, the read marker should be moved to the "asd" message to prevent me from jumping back to the past.

There are several issues here:

• the _unread messages_ marker is not visible sometimes after we "Jump to unread". It has to be visible to start tracking the last read event
• the read marker should be updated when I "Jump to bottom" (return in live). We have to stop tracking the read events and update the read marker, like when the user moves outside the room

Ah yes true, I had misunderstood the issue.
