selected message bubble should still be swipable to reply #9289

Closed Meteor0id closed 4 years ago

Meteor0id commented 4 years ago

Bug description

Not entirely sure if this was existing functionality before. When one or multiple messages are selected, there is no need to block those message bubbles from being swipeable for quick reply.

Expected behavior

Be lenient with users who selected something but still decide to use quick reply.

Device info

Android version: 9.0 Signal version: 4.52.1

All touch interaction on views is disabled in multiselect, and this is intentional. You don't want people accidentally clicking on links, playing voice notes, or (in this case) swiping to reply on messages when they've gone into a mode specifically to select a batch of messages to delete (or whatever action they were looking to perform). Given that this behavior is intentional, I'll close this as a feature request :+1:

Note that swipe to reply is not more likely to get triggered on accident when selecting messages, so unlike accidental link clicks or playing voice notes on accident, swipe to reply doesn't need to be disabled.
