Description

This occurs in various situations; I don't have a specific way to reproduce as yet.

The basic issue is that you may have read as far as eg. Feb 6 in some narrow, and on returning to that narrow it jumps you back to some time on maybe Feb 2.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the message fetching and filtering logic in the narrow view to understand why the displayed message sometimes jumps to an earlier point. Check for any caching or state issues.
