This seems to be an unintentional change in compact mode caused by 054f87cae2,
where an if check for "straight line" or "fill width" mode ended up
being removed. But this was needed for availableWidth() to return the
correct width for compact mode, otherwise it got weirdly centered and
ended up with a limited width.
I re-arranged everything now so it makes more semantic sense, e.g. all
the message layout stuff is together in one card. I also made
bubble-only options hide themselves to reduce the amount of clutter
for compact layout users. Some small grammatical things were changed
like "Show Avatar" -> "Show Avatars".
I added ellipses so it matches the other loading placeholder we have. I
also removed the spacing in it's layout, because there is more than
enough space inside of BusyIndicator itself that it makes the
additional spacing look odd.
Unfortunately a pretty common spam/annoyance online is putting "spam"
via abusing Unicode symbols - which is used for multilingual support -
in display names. This typically results in an unreadable word jumble in
our UI, which looks bad.
So I decided to put a stop to that by clipping some labels that could be
used for this crap. I didn't cover *everything* yet, but this at least
prevents these idiots from showing up in the completion menu, the room
member list and as authors for messages.
This fixes an always-reproducible bug by switching from Bubbles (with
"move local messages to the right" enabled) to Compact, and your
avatar is missing until you switch rooms or restart NeoChat.
The various flags to inform the rest of the delegate of the avatar were
returning true, but the actual avatar item was never created when the
option was switched on.
In other messaging applications (e.g. Discord) this is possible through
text modifiers like "from:@user". We don't support that, and I'm not
super keen on implementing yet-another-parsing-thing, so an action in
the user detail dialog should work for now.
Very useful to sift through large rooms but when you only care about a
specific person's messages (maybe your own?)
This was changed in 9ed5224470 but this
ended up causing all sorts of strange formatting issues like the quick
format bar not working, and pastes from other applications that kept the
formatting.
This was added recently to Purpose, and it's not too useful for us.
We already have a bunch of better, more integrated ways to copy
events to the clipboard.
The menus have always been split into a menu for file-like content and text-like content
This split makes some things a bit more complicated then necessary.
So I noticed that searching for messages feels "buggy". I dove into the
code and gave it a pretty nice refresh, I know you'll like it once you
try it!
Some of the issues I noticed and are now fixed:
* The search doesn't clear immediately when you clear the text box, it's
delayed like everything else. This also has the knock-on effect of
starting random network requests.
* If you now press the search button (either with a mouse, pen, etc. or
by the keyboard) the search delay timer was still running.
* The "nothing is here" placeholder message appears when the search
timer is running, making you think no messages were found.
These changes also help other places where SearchPage is used, not just
message search.
Relevant fixes hidden behind some refactoring:
- set m_lastRoomConfig per-user while setting the connection
- fold m_lastSpaceConfig into m_lastRoomConfig
- set current room to empty explicitely when there is no room
