matrix.to links generated in a code block navigate away from the page

[turt2live]

Description

This is an awkward case. Room aliases automatically get converted to matrix.to links in Riot, however if that alias is in a code block, the link doesn't stay on the page and instead throws you over to matrix.to. This used to work just fine, and kinda makes linking markdown-affected rooms a little annoying.

Steps to reproduce

• Send a message like #riot:matrix.org (include applicable markdown)
• Click on alias

I would have expected that the link work like they do outside of code blocks: bring me to the room, not the matrix.to page.

From a little debugging it looks like linkify attaches a local click event handler to it then it being mangled by something removes this handler

This got fixed, somehow

Reopening, just experienced this on /develop with a code block as follows:

#linux_gaming:matrix.org

The linkifier caught it and made it a matrix.to link, which navigates you away.

and no longer an issue. This is somewhat screaming to be a test case.

This is still an issue, ex: https://matrix.to/#/!QtykxKocfZaZOUrTwp:matrix.org/$15528445031027051zpSsW:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=half-shot.uk&via=linuxgaming.life
