Recurrence of #2605: Tapping drawer having more than one room in notifications gives "malformed link" error

[scottwallacesh]

Steps to reproduce

1. Where are you starting? Notification drawer.
2. What do you click? The Element notification with more than one room included.
3. A box appears with "The link was malformed".

Intended result and actual result

What did you expect?

To be taken to the first room with unread messages.

A message popped up with "The link was malformed". Clearing the message goes to the Element app.

I can repro

Also seeing this when tapping room invitation notifications

sorry to be a pain 😅 I would question this UX

What did you expect?
To be taken to the first room with unread messages.

Using gmail as an example, tapping a group of emails takes the user to the inbox rather than an individual email.
I'd be interested to know how other messaging apps handle this 🤔

I'd lean more towards the grouped notification launching the DM or Room list, android allows us to expand notification groups to select a specific one if we do want to action a certain notification.

in case we're happy with only opening the home screen #4320

@ouchadam That seems like the correct behaviour. Whatsapp does it the way you lay it out.

[daniellekirkwood]

@ouchadam Yes!

• If the user taps the group of notifications take them to the home page.
• If the user expands the notification group and selects a particular message, take them to that room.

in that case we can close this ^^^

will be part of the 1.3.5 release
