Description
Description:
Although suggested while typing, slash commands like /me, /tableflip etc. will not work when quoting a message.
Steps to reproduce:
- Write a message.
- Write a second message quoting the first one. Start the message text with a slash command like
/me,/tableflipetc.
Expected behavior:
The slash command will do what it is supposed to do.
Actual behavior:
The slash command does not work.
Server Setup Information:
- Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 6.4.3
- Deployment Method: Docker
- Number of Running Instances: 1
- MongoDB Version: 6.0.11
Client Setup Information
- Browser Version: Chromium Version 118.0.5993.117 (Offizieller Build) Arch Linux (64-Bit)
- Operating System: Arch Linux
However, I expect this issue to be client-agnostic.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the message composer by quoting a message and starting the text with /me or /tableflip. Then trace the client-side handling of quoted messages and slash commands; done means the command executes normally when the message also contains a quote.
