Status message is not updating in real-time

[Furret162]

Description:

Even when updating the status message set via custom status, it is not reflected in real-time for other users.

Steps to reproduce:

1. User A and User B log in and start a DM.
2. User B views the DM screen with User A.
3. User A updates their status message using the custom status feature.
4. User A updates their status message again.

Expected behavior:

• In step 2, User B's DM screen header should reflect User A's status message.
• In step 3, the status message should update accordingly.

Actual behavior:

• In step 2, User B's DM screen header does not reflect User A's status message.
• In step 3, the status message from step 2 is reflected instead.

I was able to reproduce this issue on:

• Chrome Version 133.0.6943.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Firefox 135.0 (64-bit)

The status does update, but only after a page refresh. Potential reasons for this behavior:

• The client might not be listening for status update events in real-time.
• The UI might not be re-rendering when the status changes.

I am working on it.

Going to tag this as a bug.

Unless someone can propose a fix quickly this needs to go to the teams.

Hi there, thanks for the contribution! 🚀 💯

Sorry, this issue was fixed here and does not happen on the latest and maintained releases.

Rocket.Chat provides support for, at least, 3 months for each release and 6 months for the latest releases of each major version

I would suggest you update your Rocket.Chat version to the latest stable version, which you can find in Releases Page and, check it HERE the table with versions and End of Life dates.
