[turt2live]

Description

For latency-ridden connections it may be ideal to have the option to cancel sending mid-flight. At least as a last ditch effort to hide your spelling mistakes.

errrr https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/blame/162f3872e5d2182b30346e6f2903b30691d40cf6/src/components/views/context_menus/MessageContextMenu.js#L172 should be === "sending" rather than "not_sent"

errrrrm, upon further review this may be the issue of it being in the sending state and not being able to cancel it from that state.

This is neither a regression nor an issue :/

[t3chguy]

I'll let the pros triage the new being that this issue is.

[turt2live]

updated op - not an issue. Rephrased to be a feature request.

hang on, i thought there was a 'cancel' option in the context menu for inflight msgs? or is this only after they've failed?

[t3chguy]

@ara4n only for queued or failed see https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/blame/162f3872e5d2182b30346e6f2903b30691d40cf6/src/components/views/context_menus/MessageContextMenu.js#L172 and the cancel method it calls, just removes it from the queue

Is there a parity with Riot iOS label? 😄

[t3chguy]

What is the expectation here if it is in-flight? To fast-follow a redaction?
