Action Performed:

1. open a chat and send a msg
2. edit it and write an html tag like <h1>abc</h1>
3. Without saving, reload the page
4. Now repeat the steps for a new message in composer

Expected results:

html tags should either not be parsed in both edit composer and new composer, or should be parsed in both composers. Also, parsing should be instantaneous, without needing to reload

Actual results:

HTML in edit box is parsed after reloading, but that doesn't happen in normal composer

Workaround:

Can the user still use Expensify without this being fixed? Have you informed them of the workaround?
