Client keeps deleted reference message cached causing a reply to fail to send

(#3114) Bug Awaiting confirmation messaging

Observed behaviour

The reply state remains cached in the client after the reference message is deleted and fails to send as the API cannot find the reference message.

Reproduction steps

  1. Send a message
  2. Begin a reply to the message
  3. Delete the reference message
  4. Send the reply

Details

Expected behaviour The chat box reply is disregarded when the reference message is deleted and the reply will be sent as plain message. This is Discord’s behaviour.
