Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Threads panel on Element Nightly and inspect the handlers for the “View in room” and “Copy link to thread” buttons. Done means each button performs its tooltip action without also opening the thread; add or update the relevant UI test if one is found alongside those handlers.
