Description
Description:
When posting a twitter link, the "description" automatically added below contain the text, a link to the image, and the date (with its permalink url).
Clicking on the image or date link does nothing or let RocketChat in a black page (no server/room/discussion are visible anymore).
Steps to reproduce:
- post a twitter.com link
- click on the date/image link
- get a black page within the RC Window
Expected behavior:
Openning the link on the default browser
Actual behavior:
Black page, see :
