This is likely due to how your frontend creates "users" and thus the HTML5 client sees them as different people. What frontend are you using?

You are right, when the opponent writes sth - another instance of a private chat gets created. It was the greenlight attending with an invitation link. However, it does not occur when just reloading page, but only when the opponent loggs out or clicks "back" in the browser and reenters from there.
