Alright, this is an interesting one:
As described in #1829, when the profile popup is opened within the chat view,
users are still able to click *through* the popup on message, which then puts them in
an active state.
I've done a bunch of debugging as described [here](https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1829#issuecomment-804748148) and after doing some
further debugging, I found out that `isMessageActive` isn't really the culprit here.
What causes this effect is the `HoverHandler` that's attached to the `CompactMessage` item.
`HoverHandler` is a standard QML type that emits `hoverChanged` signals so one can do things like
applying hover effects on elements, which is exactly what we do:
```
HoverHandler {
onHoverChanged: {
root.isHovered = hovered // `root` being the message item
}
}
```
I assume we went with this handler because putting a `MouseArea` in there instead, which fills
the entire message component pretty much eliminates all existing mouse handlers attached to
other child components, such as the profile image or the username of the message, which also
open a message context menu.
It turns out that, having a `HoverHandler` as described above, actually activates it when the
user clicks with the left mouse button as well (not just on hover). That's what causes the "click-through"
effect. This can be verified by setting `acceptedButtons` to `Qt.RightButton`, basically telling
the handler that only right clicks will activate it.
I then tried using `Qt.NoButtons` instead so that no button clicks and only hovers will activate
the handler, but that didn't seem to have any effect at all. It still defaults to `Qt.LeftButton`.
So the last resort was to disable the `HoverHandler` altogether, whenever either the profile popup,
or the message context menu (for emojis etc) is open.
Unfortunately, we don't have access to the profile popup in the compact message component, because it's
detached from the component tree. Therefore, I've introduced a new property `profilePopupOpened` on
the chat layout, which we can read from instead.
Fixes#1829
When the communities code was moved into its own view in https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/commit/b38d1df59
it broke the functionality to join communities again.
Qt complains that the Nim API in use `chatsModel.communities.joinCommunity`
expects two parameters, when it's call with just one.
This is unexpected because the API in question set a default value
for its second parameter.
To make this work again, we have to make sure the `setActive`
parameter is supplied every time we call the API from
within QML.
Also, worth noting that this is not the first time we're running into
a scenario like this.
For an unknown reason, when the `chatLogView` ListView uses
a `verticalLayoutDirection: BottomToTop`, it prevents the application
from successfully rendering during login and crashes.
From debugging this, we know that this only happens when the above
condition applies *and* when a `DelegateModel` is used.
The delegate doesn't even need proper data, it application would still
crash.
We found out that the crash can be avoided when another `ListView` exists
in this component (however it's unclear why).
For now this commit adds such a placeholder `ListView` until it
we know more about what's going on.
In some cases inside of 1-on-1 chats, the fake messages added to
the beginning of the message list, wouldn't determine the correct
username of the contact in question.
This commit explicitly calls `chatsModel.userNameOrAlias()` instead
of relying on `activeChannel.name` which tries to do the same.
This commit adds a menu item to the message context menu to
copy links that may exist inside of a message.
There are three possible scenarios:
1. There's no link in the message, which causes the menu to not
render the dedicated menu item at all
2. There's one link in the message, which renders an additional
`Action` with a copy-to-clipboard functionality
3. There are multiple links in a single message. This adds a
nested `PopupMenu` in the existing menu with menu items for each
link extracted from the message
To make this work there were some changes in the `PopupMenu` component
needed, as it wasn't take the sub menu's `enabled` state into account
properly. This makde it always render nested menus even when they
should've been invisible.
Closes: #1733
This was missing in one of our previous PRs and causes the
channel context menu to not function properly e.g. when deleting
chats, it currently always deletes the first chat in the channel list
instead of the active channel.
