It seems to work as expected if the MXID is a pill, but not if it is plain text

[SimonBrandner]

This sorta makes sense to me since pill is always a member of the room but a matrix.to link does not have to be

[anoadragon453]

@SimonBrandner well, usually. Though you can copy/paste pills between rooms or craft them via devtools. In that case clicking the pill, even if the user is not in the room, results in no redirects occurring.

This issue also occurs when the MXID belongs to a user in the room.

This now takes me to matrix.to in the same tab :/

[t3chguy]

This works fine on riots.im/1.11.35 but not on develop. This seems to be related to @Johennes updating linkifyjs :/

[t3chguy]

Looks like it is due to 4.1.1

Ensure function options get called with unformatted href

Thanks for fixing this @t3chguy!
