Describe the bug There's an issue where only pollCreationMessages are received, and not pollUpdateMessages when going through the messaging history.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Created a new connection
  2. Navigate to the messaging history.
  3. Iterate through each message returned by the history.
  4. Observe that only pollCreationMessages are received, and there are no instances of pollUpdateMessages.

Expected behavior When going through the messaging history, both pollCreationMessages and votes should be received. The connection should accurately reflect the updates related to polls, including relevant voting information.

Environment:

  • What do your connectOptions look like? image

  • Do you have multiple clients on the same IP? I have 2 connections running, at the same time

  • Are you using a proxy? No
