Descrizione

To reproduce:

  • Configure topic following like this:
  • Pick some topic where you wrote the last message (which implies you are following the topic, as per the settings above). Click on some previous message in that topic that is written by someone else (and not the first message in the topic!) and select "move messages", with these settings:

Expected behavior: You should be following the new topic!

Actual behavior: You do not follow the new topic. However, it contains messages you wrote, and people might reply to them, which you could entirely miss and never see since the topic drowns in the general volume of the chat.

This is exactly the same problem as https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/27984 filed 1.5 years ago, which incorrectly got closed as a duplicate of https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/28408.
