With e2e encryption disabled through .well-known/matrix/client, starting an initial chat with someone suggests that the chat will be e2e encrypted #24397

Description

@neutralinsomniac

Steps to reproduce

  • Click the “+” next to Home, choose Start new chat.
  • Select contact to start new chat with and click Go.
  • The new “pre-chat” window that comes up waiting for you to type an initial message before the room gets created shows a grey shield next to the contact name at the top of the screen, and the hover text says “This room is end-to-end encrypted”. Because I have e2e encryption disabled server-side, I would expect the shield to be missing.
  • Once a message is sent, the room correctly shows as not e2e encrypted

Outcome

What did you expect?

No grey shield on the pre-chat window

What happened instead?

Grey shield
