I confirm:

• [x] This is not a troubleshooting question. Troubleshooting questions go here: http://www.mattermost.org/troubleshoot/.
• [x] This doesn't reproduce on web browsers (such as in Chrome). If it does, issue reports go to the Mattermost Server repository.

Summary Link opened by clicking notification is truncated. It opens only the part of the link which is visible in the notification

Environment

• Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS 64-bit
• Mattermost Desktop App version: 4.2.3
• Mattermost Server version: 5.13.2

Steps to reproduce

1. Send a link as part of the message (somewhat longer link so that half the link is visible)
2. Click on the link in the notification

Expected behavior

• Whole link should be opened in browser

Observed behavior

• Only the visible part of the link opened in browser

Example

• Actual Message: Please create an issue for that here: https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues
• Visible Message in notification: Please create an issue for that here: https://github.com/mattermost/desk (here it opens https://github.com/mattermost/desk in the browser when clicked)

Same thing on the Webapp, both Firefox and Chromium. Not sure where to report that.

I found the relevant code in mattermost-webapp/actions/notification_actions.jsx#L136-L139:

        let strippedMarkdownNotifyText = stripMarkdown(notifyText);
        if (strippedMarkdownNotifyText.length > NOTIFY_TEXT_MAX_LENGTH) {
            strippedMarkdownNotifyText = strippedMarkdownNotifyText.substring(0, NOTIFY_TEXT_MAX_LENGTH - 1) + '...';
        }

Unfortunately the "desktop" development environment does not help here, I'll need to check the webapp next...
