@name expansion not working #2215

Closed radeknoone closed 7 months ago

radeknoone commented 7 months ago

Steps to reproduce

I have to write person name starting with @ and wait and click on the 'graphical representation' of that name to let chat understand, that it is person not the plaintext: image

This is 'graphical representation' of user: image

This is what happen, when I use text form: image

Thats not making sense to me - the name IS @user:server.tld, why I have to bother with the 'graphical representation'?

Element version: 1.11.30 Olm version: 3.2.12

Outcome

I would expect, that if i write full user name like @user:server.tld, then will be used same way as "graphical representation".

Because the mention has to be listed in m.mentions property in the event, and as a sender you may wish to send something that looks like an MXID which doesn't mention the owner of that MXID.
