Bug ID: 514645
Summary: URLs in quoted messages are not directly clickable or
copyable
Classification: Applications
Product: NeoChat
Version First 25.12.1
Reported In:
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
When a message quotes another message, and that quoted message contains an URL,
there seems to be no way currently to either open that link directly or to copy
it from the quoted part of the message.
It seems it is intended that clicking on any part of a quotation in a message
would jump to the message the quote refers to, making it possible to just
access the link there. However, this only works when the original message has
also been loaded by the client, which often is not the case when original
message is significantly older than the one that contains its quotation. If
that's the case, NeoChat just jumps back to the last loaded messages in the
room history, and accessing the original message fails. For me that happens
quite often, meaning that if I want to access a link (or other parts of a
quoted message), I must transcribe it manually letter by letter.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In a room, find a message that quotes another message with a link.
(screenshot of an example attached)
2. Click on that link.
OBSERVED RESULT
Either:
* NeoChat will jump to the original message that is quoted (if that message is
also loaded in the room history), and you can click on the link there. If that
happens, this is just fine.
Or:
* NeoChat will jump up in room history to a different message, which seems to
be the oldest message currently loaded in the room history. In that case, there
seems to be no way to access the link: It is neither possible to click or copy
anything in the quoted message part. One could try to go back in the room
history far enough to load the original message, but this can take a
non-deteministic amount of time and labour.
EXPECTED RESULT
The link contained in the quoted message will be openend by the respective
application when being clicked, or there is at least a way to directly copy the
content of the quoted message (including the link).
