Forum Issues

[makisukurisu]

Describe the bug
This issue collects all problems of Forums (Chats with Topics)
Please don't hesitate to add comments to this issue if you found something that is not mentioned there.

Issues

• General topic doesn't show contents (1.0)
• To close topic view with ESC/Back button, you have to close forum first (1.1)
• Topic info shows incorrect info about media (images, links, etc.) in a topic (1.2)
• If you have opened a topic, two clicks are required to reopen it (first just “selects” a topic) (1.3)
• Topics list is not narrator-friendly (A dictionary about topic is read instead of topic's name) (1.4)
• Members tab is skipped, and some media is shown first instead (1.5)
• Dark theme doesn't work for store release? (1.6)
• Old messages are not loaded when you reach the top (1.7)
• When you click the "Go to end" button, only one message is shown (and it is not the most recent in the channel) (1.8)
• Even if you reach the end of all unread messages, they will still remain unread (even if you read them on a different platform) (1.9)
• (from Unigram with full Topics support does not allow to send to a specific topic #2965) Forwarding to specific Topic of some Forum is not possible. (1.10)
• (from Unigram does not allow to send media messages to topics silently #2964) Unigram does not allow sending media messages to topics silently (1.11, I guess this needs some triage)
• (from Unigram with full topics support does not show topic id  #2961) Topic ID (message ID of start of topic) is not shown in Topic info (1.12)

Questions/Inconvenience

1. It's impossible to change Forum's settings (like invite link, reactions, etc.) without opening forum in a new window (or – opening a “chat view”)
2. Perhaps you can add some indication that some group in the chat list is a forum (sighted people can see the squircle shape, so non-sighted people may need something like “Making Trades. Forum.” when announcing forum's name in a chat list)
3. If possible – upon pressing enter to open a forum – screen readers
   should focus on topic list.

Screenshots
1.0:

1.1
Next video shows that topic view closes after you close a forum

1.2
Opened topic has no messages in it – so I'd expect to see no media, but instead I can see links from all other topics:

1.3
Unless you have some other chat already opened – opening a Forum, after one was closed in the current “session”, takes to clicks.

*Here, “session” means a period of time when main window was (re-)opened last time.

1.4
You can have a listen, but I'm uncertain if you need to

1.5
“Members” tab is highlighted, but links (last/next element of media tabs) is being shown

*If you click on it again – it will show all members of a forum

Additional context
@FrayxRulez, may I ask you to pin this issue? Maybe you don't like aggregations, or would consider making this into a project with several tasks, so it's easier to manage.
It's up to you, hope this list is helpful anyway.

Worth checking:

• Glitched groups with topics #2918, though AFAIK this problem should be solved.
• Instead of topic name screenreader read json content in list #2914, expressed in 1.4

Adding to that

1.6
In the dark theme, I don't see any chat in the Forums (Topics) at all:

In the light theme everything is fine:

1.7
Old messages are not loaded when you reach the top

1.8
When you click the "Go to end" button, only one message is shown (and it is not the most recent in the channel)

1.9
Even if you reach the end of all unread messages, they will still remain unread (even if you read them on a different platform)

1.10 - (from #2965) Forwarding to specific Topic of some Forum is not possible.

Delay when opening groups with topics. Also, it only worked on the second click.

• General topic doesn't show contents (1.0)

With the latest update to stable channel of Unigram, this issue is now solved @makisukurisu.

Most of the issues here have to be moved to td/tdlib.

Hi. I see that bug 1.9 is checked in previous messages. However, this problem is still happening. I wonder if the check mark means that the problem has been solved. If not, where should I go to get further information or support? Thanks for your timely reply.
