URLs in realname appear clickable but do not respond
Steps
- Connect to core supporting the
RichMessages
flag - Receive or send a message with a URL in the
realname
field of the sender- Set your own realname to have a URL
- View someone else's, e.g.
Sput
on Freenode/#quassel
- Try to open the link
Expected
Links in realname fields can be tapped, just like in messages.
Or...
Links in realname fields are not treated specially, requiring one to copy the message (if even possible).
Actual
The link appears tappable, but cannot be opened.
Additional
There's probably an argument to be made about likelihood of spam abuse, or just the distracting nature of seeing a URL linked every single message. I'd personally argue for disabling the link formatting for now, and eventually providing a way to access the plaintext realname of historical messages.
