If using a link such as generated in a quoted message, then the UI doesn't select that message - which seems like the behavior to be expected.

To reproduce:

  • quote a message and send it
  • move cursor onto message with quote
  • open message info popup, move cursor onto link to original message & press enter

I'd expect the original message to be selected, but we don't do this.

Current behavior is:

  • if narrow is loaded/open, do nothing?
  • otherwise, load messages around message id; unclear which message is selected?

@neiljp quoting a message generates a near message url (internal link) to the quoted message, which is already handled by #708?
And, I am not able to reproduce as you said. The UI seems to select the message fine for me.
Could you please clarify once?

At minimum this doesn't occur when within the same narrow.

I thought it also didn't work for some cases when across narrows, but we may need to check manually or maybe check/add tests for this?

I already did a few manual tests for across narrows, and it seemed to work fine for all cases.

I am not sure if adding tests would be any better since we have most of the tests related to parsing/narrowing already implemented in #708(for MessageLinkButton) and generating near message url in test_server_url.py?

Have you tried within the same narrow?

bugfix: core: Fix message not selected within same narrow if anchored.

This is bugfix that allow selecting of messages from the same narrow
if a contextual msg-id (anchor) is provided to the _narrow_to function.

Earlier, if the user was within the same narrow then narrowing to
the quoted message from MsgLinkButton did not select the message.

Fixes zulip#954.

Okay, understood.
So the problem is quoting generates a link to the message in the ['stream', 'topic'] narrow, and if you are already in the same topic narrow, model.set_narrow() returns True (it assumes you are already in the correct narrow), and the message doesn't get selected. For all other cases, it seems to select the message fine.

Solution - Check if contextual msg-id (anchor) is provided to the controller._narrow_to method and don't return early in that case, but shift the focus to select that message. A fix has already been pushed as #967

Earlier, if the user was within the same narrow then narrowing to a

_narrow_to() function didn't took anchor into account in this case. The
test which was earlier failing, thus indicating the presence of this
