When a group message is in 2 groups, and 1 group archives it, it’s still shows in the other group, but it can’t be archived in the secondary group.

I am not able to repro this issue.

I created a new message and added two different groups as participants. When I archived the message, it got archived for both the groups. I think this is correct behaviour.
