In-App chat allows you to communicate with someone who isn't even your friend? [Visual Bug]

Today while I was responding to a very ill-mannered human which I won’t go deeply into. I noticed that when I have two tabs of roblox open, and I switch accounts from one to another, the in-app chat makes a group with the original two users and somehow adds me in it? Sending a message in the group does reset everything but it’s still quite odd.

Expected Behaviour:

I expect the new tab to refresh immediately as I change accounts. Rather than showing half new account and half old account.

Reproduction Steps:

  • Open roblox.
  • Middle click on any button so it opens a new tab.
  • Switch accounts to another user.
  • Do ensure that the chat menu is not visible on the other tab.
  • As the new account loads, switch back to the other tab and expand the chat menu.
  • You will see a random group that when you send a message in, sends the message from the account you changed to.
