Description edk 2022-08-24 12:03:27 UTC

Created attachment 151550 [details]
'Chat settings' modal view opens up instead of the main chat when activating a chat from the list of chat rooms in the default logged-in view

SUMMARY

After installing KDE NeoChat from the Nightly Fdroid repo (I cannot find any other binaries for NeoChat on Android other than Nightly), I logged in to my matrix homeserver (aria-net.org), verified the device, and trying to open a chat results in the chat settings modal opening on the bottom of the screen, no matter where you touch it is impossible to enter the chat view.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE NeoChat from FDroid using the KDE Android Build Nightly builds repository (https://cdn.kde.org/android/fdroid/repo) on any supported android version
2. Login to a known working matrix homeserver with chat rooms already populated
3. Click on any chat in the default 'chat list' view by any area but that occupied by the settings icon on the right of the item

OBSERVED RESULT
'Chat settings' modal view opens up (as if you tapped on 'settings' icon to the right) instead of entering the chat room

EXPECTED RESULT
The application opens the chat view for the chat that was touched, where user sees the chat room interface occupying the main view

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Android:
12.1 (DivestOS|LineageOS 19.1) with August 2022 security patches

KDE Frameworks Version: 
5.96.0

Qt Version: 
5.15.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

NeoChat for Android, is particularly important for Android users because all the other Matrix clients for Android appear to be forks of Element, which is written in Kotlin/Javascript built on Electron (= webapp native wrapper) and and can consume 10-20x the RAM that NeoChat does. (NeoChat uses around 50MB of RAM, Element-based clients can use 500-1000MB of RAM).

IMPORTANT: 
This bug applies to the stable build. 

At time of writing I believed only the KDE Android nightly builds was available. I have since reproduced the bug with the stable version (v22.06 11/08/22) which I since installed from the stable-releases KDE Android repository at https://cdn.kde.org/android/stable-releases/fdroid/repo/.

Please consider this bug report for the stable version, it functions exactly the same.

Hey I'm struggling to reproduce here. On mine when I tap a room it enters as expected. Now a long press opens the menu and again is expected behaviour.

If I was to take a guess that would mean your phone is registering everything as a long press.

Can I check that you are just trying to tap the room rather than long pressing? And also just to try making sure your tap is as short as possible and see if that enters the room.

Also is this intermittent or all the time?
