Since the bootstrap popovers are destroyed asynchronously so opening a
emoji popover in quick succession like by clicking the reaction button
on another message was causing a race condition which was causing some
operations to be applied on a destroyed emoji popover. This commit
fixes it by making sure to apply any operations only to the currently
active popover.
Fixes: #9851.
Adds three helper functions - `row_with_focus`, `row_before_focus` and
`row_after_focus` to get the focused, previous and next to focused
draft rows respectively.
`delete_id` in `drafts.js` referred to the next draft row which was
to be focused when deleting using hot keys. The var name was absurd
and is hence renamed.
Adds a `remove_draft` function which deletes the draft and updates the ui
by removing it from the list of drafts.
Also adds comments to increase readability.
Show "sent to different narrow" notification and other such notification by
notifications.notify_local_mixes for non locally echoed message sent by
current client.
With significant new comments added by tabbott.
Fixes: #11488.
We swallow the error if our python_to_js_filter code is
unable to parse some python regex properly. This ensures
that the web app stays responsive.
We would fail to show an accurate local echo for these
regexes, however, the backend would act as the final
authority for handling the realm pattern conversion.
Since on replacing the first 'P<>' group, we remove this text from
the string, we have to make the RegExp start looking from index 0
again to properly convert later 'P<>' groups to JS regex syntax.
We want the search widget, when visible, to be
outside the scroll container for the stream list.
One obvious use case is if you start scrolling, and
then realize it might be less effort to search.
Also, for user search, it already worked this way.
We have to add a couple resizing hooks here, but
it's not necessary to change the actual resize
calculation, since we move the section inside
of #streams_header, which is already accounted
for.
The only markup change here is to add
a `stream_search_section` class. I don't
know why we use `notdisplayed` here instead of
jQuery, or what `input-append` is for, but I
considered them outside the scope of this change.
We can also remove some crufty CSS that was
compensating for it being inside the container.
First, we are not removing Group PMs from the
right sidebar, where most people see it.
There is a setting called:
[ ] User list in left sidebar in narrow windows
There are probably very few people that turn that on,
and even when they do, the setting only takes effect
when your window is less than a certain width.
This feature bitrots very quickly, because very few
core maintainers use it.
It's already kind of broken. It gets very crowded,
and we get CSS bugs when we move the right sidebar
into the left sidebar. (We can fix those bugs, but
they crop up unexpectedly due to the nature of CSS.)
We historically tried to maintain a ratio between
stream list, single-user buddy list, and group-user
buddy list, but the group-user buddy list gets
particularly crowded out, and it's basically useless
now.
We want to revisit the entire feature eventually, but
this commit at least gives the normal buddy list some
breathing room.
Also, if you need to see the info in the group PM
list, you can basically expand "Private Messages" to
see your recent group PM conversations. And if you
want to see who's actually online, that info is
already implicit from the normal buddy list.
If users have the option to put user lists in
the left sidebar for narrow windows, they will
now get 15px more of real estate in the left
sidebar.
I just removed the `-15` fudge factor.
We were double-counting the keyboard icon's
margin (8px) when figuring out how much room
we had for the two users lists.
Now we just use the safe outer height of
the anchor tag.
This change only impacts users who have the setting
to put the user lists in the left sidebar when they
have a narrow window.
First, we move ".right-sidebar-items" as an entire
group.
Second, we append the items to "#left-sidebar"
instead of ".narrows_panel".
The name `bottom_sidebar` was misleading, because it
includes the entire "normal" left sidebar.
It includes the 4 narrow links at the top plus the
stream/topic list.
We now call is narrows_panel.
Note that the left sidebar sometimes also includes
the user list (with a display setting turned on).
And it will eventually include other views.
We also remove an intermediate value in the resize
calculations.
This adds date dividers within a single message group when the only
reason we had previously been splitting apart two message groups is a
change of date. The overall effect is a cleaner message list user
experience.
The downside of this change would be that the recipient bars no longer
will always show a new date for date changes; to fix that, we rewrite
how the floating recipient bars both set the date field on the
floating recipient bar itself, as well as ensure that non-floating
recipient bars don't show duplicate dates.
In a future design update where we modify how message recipient bars
look, we may very well be able to simplify this logic by removing some
of the dynamic nature of the recipient bar calculations. But this is
a good implementation of what remains.
Tweaked significantly by tabbott from Steve Howell's original, both to
extract these changes from a larger PR as well as to modify the
first_visible_message logic to handle some tricky corner cases.
Fixes#10171.
On clicking the edit button for a stream description, the stream's
unrendered description should be made editable as text instead of
the stream's rendered description (which would be displayed as HTML
instead of text).
This completes the effort to use backend-rendered stream descriptions
here. Fixes#11272.
Use the results of commit #73d26c8 to remove the method
`render_stream_description` in static/js/stream_data.js and instead
use the rendered_description attribute now being sent by the backend.
This will be a valuable optimization and a step towards removing the
need for the marked.js markdown parser and speeding up the client end.
This extract functions `get_mention_candidates_data` &
`filter_mention_name` to make code reusable and cleaner and further use
the logic in silent mention syntax.
Having a tiny bit of margin below the stream list
makes it possible to see the bottom of the scrollbar.
It also makes it so that the scrollbar activates
for a tiny range of list sizes where before the
last element would have been right up against the
bottom of the page, but we wouldn't scroll.
We need to move the update_group_date_divider call to run when a
message group is created. This achieves a few things:
* Fixes calling this multiple times useless for long message groups.
* It will soon no longer be correct to assume that every message
within a group has the same date, and in that case, we want to process
the date of the first message in the group, not of the last.
We only generate message_containers in one place, and that code path
already calls update_timestr. And update_timestr's effect only
depends on the message. Thus, this code was useless.
In small screen sizes, when the user presses shortcut `w` to search
for another user, the hide_all function calls in the search code path
would hide the right sidebar, immediately after opening it, making the
hotkey basically unusable.
We fix this by extracting a separate hide method that hides all true
popovers, but not the user list sidebar.
Fixes#11463.
The `uploadFinished` code switches on the composing mode, if we aren't
in the composing mode already. This causes the focus to be incorrect
when this code path runs due to an upload from the message edit
box. This commit fixes that logic to turn on the composing mode or
switches focus to the message edit box, depending on where the upload
was triggered.
So the top navbar is above the left sidebar
on the z-axis, not the y-axis.
So it doesn't make sense to use the top
navbar in calculating the size of the left
sidebar.
It kind of coincidentally works, since these
two numbers are closely related:
left sidebar top margin = 50
navbar height = 40
Calculating `bottom_sidebar_height` correctly
decreases its value by 10.
And then the only value that depends on it
is `stream_filters_max_height`. We were
subtracting out 10 there to make it work,
since `bottom_sidebar_height` was inaccurate
by +10. Now that's fixed.
The comment there was inaccurate--the
`stream_filter` div actually has a bottom
margin of 22px. The bottom margin does
have some consequences for scrolling,
but the main goal here is to make the
calculation return the same value but
be more accurate about what happens
toward the top of the screen.
Since the main autoscroll feature was implemeneted, the
maybe_advance_to_recently_sent_message logic had an unfortunate
structure, where the code for this potentially large scroll was
running AFTER the autoscroll decision was made, but before an actual
scroll could have occurred.
This resulted in code that was very difficult to reason about, as
there were 2 potential sources of scrolling when you send a new
message, with little connection between their implementations either
in location or implementation.
Moving this into the main autoscrolling code path clarifies the code,
with the added benefit of fixing a bug where we would report to the
user that they needed to scroll down when in fact we were just about
to scroll the bottom of the feed into view (via
maybe_advance_to_recently_sent_message).
With this change, we never display the "you need to scroll manually"
message in the cast that we just scrolled you there via selecting a
message.
When you just sent a large message, our logic for "you need to scroll"
notifications did not correctly take into account the height of the
compose box. This was easily reproduced when sending very long
messages. The correct solution requires a bit of math to compute what
the visible area will look like after the compose box is closed.
This should be the final fix to #11138.
This adds a function that controls the whole process of applying
markdown and displaying the markdown rendering preview on request;
This is required to avoid code duplication when adding preview feature
to message-edit UI.
