Cannot disable emojis

[dariosusman]

Description:

Server Setup Information:

• Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 0.59.3
• Operating System: Linux (AWS)
• Deployment Method(snap/docker/tar/etc): tar
• Number of Running Instances: 1
• DB Replicaset Oplog: Disabled
• Node Version: 4.5.0 - x64

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to "My Account", Preferences
2. Switch "Use Emojis" to False.
3. Click "Save Changes".
4. Reload or just close the "My account" tab/window.

Expected behavior:

Typing ':S' must NOT be translated to raise the emoji selection window... or any emoji for that matter when disabled..
Also, the setting does not appear to get really saved.

Actual behavior:

Asks to select an emoji and automatically selects one upon hitting enter. Have to hit escape before hitting enter to avoid the emoji.

Relevant logs:

Logs don't show anything out of the ordinary. Even on debug mode.

Reloading the channel or page shows it to be back on/true.
