Description
Description:
When creating users in RocketChat they are treated case insensitive, e.g. I can't create two users with the username "foo" and "Foo". But apparently when mentioning someone in a channel, it only gets converted to a highlight if one uses the correct case. This bites a lot of our customers because to to pretty short names some of them just type the message including the highlight instead of using the autocompletion dropdown.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a user called "foo"
- Go to a channel and mention "@Foo"
Expected behavior:
The user "foo" gets a mention because usernames are case-insensitive in the rest of the system
Actual behavior:
No mention is created.
Server Setup Information:
- Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 0.74.0
- Operating System: Linux
- Deployment Method: Hosted Cloud Version
- NodeJS Version: v8.11.4
