> Hello, I noticed the Chat button in chat enabled topic is always visible on the topic bottom even if the user cannot access chat or it is disabled. Same with topic title chat icon. The button clicks doesn’t do anything. No error in console. [Screenshot 2022-04-15 at 14.45.02] [Screenshot 2022-04-15 at 14.49.55] Thanks slightly_smiling_face
