<status>.mentions not populated when a post is edited to add a mention
I don't know if this is a Soapbox or Rebased bug, so I'm assuming Rebased.
If I make a typo on a mention, and post the status, then go back and edit the status to fix the typo, the result has @foo
as a link to the home page of the mention, but contains no corresponding entry in the <status>.mentions
field. That entry is very useful to snarf the <account>.id
.
Example: https://gleasonator.com/@billstclair/posts/AQH4V5UXREBcBVHog4
I posted this, initially mentioning @billstclai
, which doesn't exist. I edited it to @billstclair
, if you hover over the new mention, instead of seeing a nice pop-up account dialog, you only see a standard browser link pop-up. That's because there is no entry for billstclair
in <status>.mentions
(there IS an entry for alex
, which I spelled correctly the first time).
