Version Number: v9.2.48-1
Reproducible in staging?: Yes
Reproducible in production?: No
If this was caught during regression testing, add the test name, ID and link from BrowserStack: https://test-management.browserstack.com/projects/2219752/test-runs/TR-1587/41237963/982203458?q=4564&issue_type=jira&sort=%2Bidentifier
Email or phone of affected tester (no customers): N/A
Issue reported by: Applause Internal Team
Device used: Windows 10
App Component: User Settings

Action Performed:

1. Log in
2. Navigate to Profile settings
3. Click on "Save the World"
4. Click on "I know a teacher"
5. Fill the form data (name, last name, and email)
6. Verify you're redirected to a public room with a whisper message indicating you referred a teacher

Expected Result:

After being redirected to the public room, the whisper message should immediately display the referred teacher's name without needing to refresh the page or do something else. Also, the flow to the public room should be responsive and fully functional.

Actual Result:

Before being redirected to the public room, it was noticed that the page becomes unresponsive after loading the message for the first time.

After being redirected to the public room, the whisper message appears but does not display the referred teacher's name. The user must change the chat or refresh to page to see it.
