Hello,
I noticed on our forum the chat channels are empty after we deleted a user from Discourse, who wrote in the specific channel. I updated before I write this topic so Discourse and Discourse Chat is also on latest.
Repro:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'username')Thanks 
Just confirming that I can reproduce this issue. We’ll take a look!
We have this at the top of our list now and should have a fix sometime next week.
Here’s the fix we just merged for this issue:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/commit/90621d3de466f875f623e0086b19ee97eacca3f1
Let us know how things look after you get a chance to update your plugin.
Thank you so much! Works perfect!
