Description

Conditions

Client: Browser (Safari, Firefox), MacOS-Client (v3.0.3), Windows-Client
Server: RC 3.12.1 (chatbegruenung.de)

Reproduce:

Activate E2EE in a private group chat
Use respective Client (see above)
Type in slash command, e.g. /help or /poll

Expcted:

the called plugin opens, e.g. on /poll a Poll form opens

Actual:

The slash command is added as a regular post, no further server reaction

On deactivating the E2EE in the same channel, the slash commands work again. In the iOS client they also work in E2EE channels.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in an E2EE private group using /help or /poll on Safari, Firefox, the macOS client, or the Windows client, then compare it with a non-E2EE channel and the iOS client. Done means slash commands invoke the plugin instead of being added as regular posts.
