We think that this bug might be related to #vip-vsp

Removing the Web-E blocker label, since this is on the app composer.

Might have been caused by my PR, will take a look tmrw, feel free to assign me!

Interesting side note: you can still press send and the emojis will be send to chat, its just that the composer seem to be stuck
