Steps to reproduce

  1. Set a custom status message in a different client (i.e. Nheko) or using curl
  2. Open Element
  3. Do something else for a while

Outcome

What did you expect?

Element marks me as unavailable, but my status_msg is kept.

What happened instead?

Your status_msg will be unset by a call to /_matrix/client/v3/presence/{userId}/status. Element doesn't seem to store the old status_msg and it doesn't provide it when setting the status, effectively deleting the old status_msg. And even worse, if you are active in a different client, Element will still unset the status_msg, even though you are still online!

Operating system

Gentoo

Browser information

Firefox, Chrome, etc. It doesn't matter

URL for webapp

riot.neko.dev

Application version

1.9.8 (and others, this has been an issue for 2 years)

Homeserver

neko.dev, nheko.im

Will you send logs?

No
