Share Message in right-click message gives broken link

[anoadragon453]

Right-click on a message and (don't click, but) right-click "Share Message" and copy. You'll get a link that looks like:

https://matrix.to/#/!QtykxKocfZaZOUrTwp:matrix.org/!QtykxKocfZaZOUrTwp:matrix.org

The format of the link should be https://matrix.to/#/<room ID>/<event ID> but it is instead https://matrix.to/#/<room ID>/<room ID>.

Seems like a fairly high priority bug.

Version information

• Platform: web
• Browser: Chrome
• OS: Debian Linux
• URL: independent build of riot.im/develop

https://riot.im/develop appears to produce the correct URL with room and event as expected. Are there any other steps? What do you see if you try https://riot.im/develop?

[anoadragon453]

Yep, same bug in riot.im/develop

Perhaps the particular message you are trying to share is relevant? Could you describe a room and message I can find through other means that exhibits this issue?

[anoadragon453]

Any message is Matrix HQ is doing it for me.

Ah I think I see the issue. I'm not clicking Share Message, I'm right-clicking it in the menu and copying it. It's fine in the actual modal view that pops up but not in the message right-click menu.

Aha, yes, I agree, the link on the "Share Message" item itself is broken.
