Mention tab/auto completion seems to stop working after some time #2565

Open BloodyIron opened 6 years ago

BloodyIron commented 6 years ago

I'm on Riot Androoid 0.8.14 G-b148

After some time (unsure how long), I'll come back to a channel I'm chatting in, and suddenly, when I try to type @partofausername it does not suggest which user to tap and then auto-complete the full user mention string.

When I click on a user and hit the "mention" option, it does not add their mention string to chat, either, until the below "fix".

In order to "fix" this, I need to clear the entire message i was typing (if I don't clear it, this doesn't get "fixed"), then back out to the room and chat selection (not leaving the room, just switching visible scope), then re-select the room again. Then when I start typing @partialusername it suggests the available options.

For me this only seems to happen on the Android version, not the desktop version. And the "fix" seems to only be temporary, as the issue comes back over time.

Hi @BloodyIron ,

Thanks for reporting. We have improved the auto-completion feature to provide command completion (message starting with /). Looks like in your case the thing is broken.

We will investigate
