Description

Description:

DOM data-username attribute has disappeared from rcx-message wrapper div.

Expected behavior:

Previous to v5 message DIV had the data-username attribute so we could style messages depending on the author. In v5, the rcx-message class DIV, has not this attribute so we cannot do the same thing. This attribute is present in another DIV wrappers as rcx-message-header__name or rcx-message-header__username.

Actual behavior:

Research direction

Locate the component that renders the rcx-message wrapper and inspect how its DOM attributes are assembled. Compare the current wrapper with the reported pre-v5 behavior, then verify in the rendered message DOM that the author-related data attribute is present and remains correct for messages from different users.
