Previous Sent Messages are Missing After Ignoring the User #4864

Description

@serhii8nahornyi

We have noticed a behaviour when the old messages from 1:1 chats are missing after the user gets ignored. The logout and login again helps and returns all messages. It happens time to time on multiple clients including Element as well. It looks like not all events will be sent by matrix which cause the missing messages after the user gets ignored which might be related to the timeline.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a 1:1 chat
  2. Send multiple messages
  3. User1 ignores User2
  4. Previous sent messages are gone

P.S. our last testing session required around 20 attempts to reproduce the issue.
