What issue are you seeing?
If a user dictates a message, submits it, and while transcription is still in progress then switches to a different thread before transcription completes, the final transcribed message is submitted to the newly selected thread instead of the original one.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Start dictation in a thread.
- Dictate for an extended period (e.g. 1–2 minutes).
- Submit the dictation.
- Immediately switch to a different thread while transcription is still processing.
Observe that the transcribed message is posted in the new thread, not the original.
What is the expected behavior?
Transcribed message should be posted to the thread in which it was recorded.
