Action Performed:

1. Open the app
2. Log in with a new Gmail account
3. Tap on FAB - Start chat
4. Enter a Gmail address that doesn't have an account yet
5. Tap on the account
6. Tap on the "+" button next to the composer

Expected Result:

I should be able to use the + menu and the chat shouldn't refresh itself.

Actual Result:

Chat - 1:1 DM resreshes itself for a few times after opening. Composer + action menu closes and the chat starts refreshing again. The menu is inaccessible.
