What's Wrong?

Suppose you start a session on your computer. Then, you run remote control on it, and manipulate the session on your phone. When you go back to your computer session, the chat context will NOT be updated- and if you close the chat, the context will be ERASED.

What Should Happen?

The chat context done on phone should automatically update the desktop context. Also, the chat context should never be erased by closing a session.

Steps to Reproduce

2. Go on your phone and add to the conversation.
3. Close the desktop session with CTRL+C.
