#174 #971 #3874 etc etc all the issues with reply fallback

[penn5]

I sent the message using FluffyChat where emotes are permitted on replies. Sending a fallback doesn't make sense for that, since it would render wrong, so this isn't an EA issue IMO (except that it should use a proper reply handling rather than the fallback, obviously)

[deepbluev7]

Fallback for emotes is required by the spec: https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#fallback-for-m-emote

[HarHarLinks]

is there a "remove/optional reply fallback" issue/MSC yet?

Rich replies Do that. But Element android does not implement Rich replies at All.

@HarHarLinks MSC to remove it is blocked by Element Android not implementing reply rendering: matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2781

[HarHarLinks]

if that is actually the case, then ea should make it a priority. this is not only a reason for many many bugs in ea, but judging from the client/missing rich reply implementation list in that MSC, actually a blocker for most 3rd party clients (i.e. the ecosystem), too.

[deepbluev7]

@HarHarLinks I should update that list. A lot of those clients are unmaintained by now or have implemented reply rendering.

I meant that when sending an emote, it doesn't make sense to include a reply fallback since it won't render correctly on spec-compliant clients that lack rich replies.

[HarHarLinks]

it seems to me that the fallback is included in a wrong way with that emote and could be fixed to comply with current spec by fluffy?

I don't think there is a right way

It seems like fluffy didn't send the * in the fallback, but that means the * and bad layout is pretty much only Element Androids fault?
