Online status displayed incorrectly on React.

Problem Summary
Online status displayed incorrectly on React.

Problem Details
I find that when I’m on React unlike ST2, a person’s online status when hovering over their username is frequently incorrectly displayed.

I’ll hover over someone’s username and it’ll say online, but when you actually go to the person’s profile they are in fact offline.

This doesn’t always happen but it happens frequently enough (at least 60% of the time).

Yeah here for example, my online status is being displayed as online when it’s supposed to be displayed as offline/invisible:

I’ve been noticing this issue for weeks btw but I didn’t bother to report it sooner.
Also sometimes sometimes someone’s status is displayed online but they are offline.

I’m wondering if this sort of thing breaches privacy to be honest.
Thanks for all the detail. I can see the issue with my account being online now but showing as offline when I view the site as another user. I'll log a bug in our backlog.
