Updating to Riot desktop 1.5.5 makes read markers not update consistently

[catscratchedme]

Description

Before updating to Riot version 1.5.5, read markers would consistently update as other chat room participants read the messages. Now, the markers don't update consistently. In order to make them update, you sometimes have to navigate to a different room, and then navigate to the original room.

Sometimes, when another participant has read the message, their read marker will quickly flick out horizontally and then back to its original position. It will not move vertically to the latest message as expected.

Steps to reproduce

• Update to Riot desktop 1.5.5
• send a message
• other participants' read markers don't consistently update when they read the message

Describe how what happens differs from what you expected.

These are known as read receipts (read markers are the horizontal lines you see to track where you left off). This is a known bug, and should be fixed for the next release. Duplicate of #11496
