Unlike messages, reactions do not have a "pending" state. This problem
is more obvious while the server is under heavy load, or your connection
is disconnecting often, etc. This creates a pretty terrible UX as you
try to add an emoji, and nothing obvious happens.
libQuotient gives us the tools to do this, we can take advantage of
this. The main missing component is that we depend on a changed
RoomMessage event for reaction updates, but in the pending queue the
library gives us a ReactionEvent directly. We can process this, and tell
ReactionModel to use this while waiting for the message to be updated.
I did some code cleanup in ReactionModel while I'm touching it as well.
This should allow the devices page to hide the "Verify this Device"
warning, once you actually complete verification. I also made sure to
update the other consumer - the menu item under the user menu.
Additionally, I also fixed the password field not being automatically
focused when trying to remove a device.
We use error banners for intermittent errors (failing to join a room),
along with more long-standing/important errors (like going offline.) And
due to the nature of how we manage banner visibility - for example, the
online check could accidentally hide joining rooms errors which is
pretty bad.
To fix this, each error banner is assigned an id. All errors can still
overwrite each other as they could before, but they can only hide
banners of their own kind.
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.
