Cannot enable OMEMO in private MUC
Describe the bug I am seeing two issues and I am not sure if they are related or not:
- I am a member of one private MUC and the encryption symbol after the message box is grayed out.
- For some members (including myself) but not for all, I am getting a big clown fish symbol displayed below the messages that they sent (see screenshot). That symbol seems to obscure the trust settings for the member's OMEMO keys. When I click on the symbol, it opens https://conversations.im/omemo/ in my web browser.
1:1 conversations with the same members and OMEMO are working fine.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Select private chat in list of bookmarked MUCs
Expected behavior
- Allow to switch on OMEMO in private MUC by clicking encryption symbol.
- Allow to configure trust for individual MUC members and keys.

Additional context
I've just checked and if the room is set to be nonanonymous and members-only then OMEMO encryption is available - as it should.
I just checked the MUC properties (in Gajim since I did not find a way to do that in Beagle):
- members only
- not anonymous
- unmoderated
- hidden
- no password required
- persistent
- save messages
So I left Beagle running through the night and restarted it this morning and now I can enable OMEMO in the MUC. So this seems more like a usability issue than a functional issue. I am still getting these big clown fish boxes displayed for some old messages.
