'New Chat' option stays even after rewriting history

Describe the Bug

The ‘New Chat’ button in the bottom right stays there, even if I go back and edit a message several steps back in the conversation, before the button appeared. Surely the button should disappear, since we’re going back to a point where less of the context window had been used up.

Maybe this is a function of how conversation history is managed, and actually the history is still ‘invisibly’ there in the context window? Seems strange though, since I can’t access this history again once I change a previous message.

Steps to Reproduce

Once the ‘new chat’ text button appears for your current model, edit a message from earlier in the conversation and see the text button remain.

Expected Behavior

The new chat button should disappear and reappear when the conversation reaches the context window length again.
