I can confirm this issue on Arch Linux, 5.0.2 installed from static binaries. But can't reproduce it on windows 10, 5.0.2 installed from windows store.

Telegram? we can say buygram Telegram doesn't value the desktop version for a long time :(

@Aokromes this happens not only on Linux.

@taha-ghadirian: But can't reproduce it on windows 10, 5.0.2 installed from windows store.

I am able to always reproduce the bug in:

Telegram v5.0.2 x64 Portable (25 May 2024: Github release)
Windows 10 Build 18363 x64 Home

Specifically, Telegram v5.0.2 fails to create a hyperlink from more than 1 word when all of the below conditions are met:

All words selected for link creation occur in Line 1
Words selected for link creation in Line 1 include the 1st word
Line(s) before line containing linked text is/are empty
If text is in Line 1: No empty space(s) preceding linked text

Screenshot:

TelegramDesktop5.0.2-BugLinkText-26May24a

The following 4 scenarios are OK, ie. can create hyperlink from more than 1 word -- as denoted by square-bracketed [Word1 Word2 ...] below.

Scenario 1:

Line1: Any Text (unlinked or linked)
Line2: [Word1 Word2]
Line3: [Word1 Word2 Word3]

Scenario 2:

Line1: Word1 [Word2 Word3]
Line2: [Word1 Word2 Word3]

Additional Remark for Scenario 2's Line 1:

If user proceeds to create another hyperlink using Word1 ...

The successfully-linked [Word2 Word3] becomes unlinked whilst still in message-composing box -- ie. resulting in Line1: [Word1] Word2 Word3
Then it is no longer possible to create a hyperlink for Word2 Word3 in Line 1
In other words, it is not possible to create more than 1 hyperlink inside Line 1 itself.
See Video Demo below for illustration.

Scenario 3:

Line1: <empty>
Line2: [Word1 Word2 Word3]

Scenario 4:

Line1: <At least 1 empty space> [Word1 Word2]

For Scenarios 3 & 4: When the message is sent, Telegram automatically removes the below (not sure if a bug or by intentional design), & the message with linked words displays correctly by "accident".

Empty Line(s) 1/2/3 etc before line containing linked words
Empty space(s) prefixing linked words in Line 1

Therefore, Scenarios 3 & 4 can be used as workaround methods, if user wishes to create a hyperlink from more than 1 word, or more than 1 hyperlink in Line 1.
