Description
Describe the bug
If you follow a permalink, the continue to open in element button disappears after being clicked. This is very confusing if you want to click it again
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to a matrix.to event permalink
- Click on open in Element; click continue
Expected behavior
The continue permalink opens in Element; but the continue button remains present on the matrix.to tab rather than vanishing.
This allows for people to try the link again after installing the native app.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a matrix.to event permalink on Mobile Safari, then inspect the code handling the “open in Element” flow and the continue button state. Confirm that clicking Continue opens the permalink in Element while leaving the button available on the matrix.to tab, including for a later retry.
