@rasom
Issue is still reproducible after first logout and it disappears when you select chat again (nightly 05/10/2018).
So, updated steps:

1. Log in
2. Select any chat (i.e. #a)
3. Type message
4. Switch to other chat (i.e. #b)

Input area in #bcontains text from #a
If you switch back to #a, issue will disappear.
