Steps to reproduce
Open a chat between two users, eg
https://radiopaedia.org/chat/dev/messages/@frank
When prompted, ask to “open in the app” (this links to mattermost://radiopaedia.org/chat/dev/messages/@frank )
Expected behavior
App gains focus and navigates to that chat
Observed behavior
App gains focus and refreshes the display, but keeps focus on the channel you were already in.
Log Output
Help -> Show logs does not open a dialog in the current snap store release.
Additional Information
This issue is also reported by our users on OSX. I also can’t get this to work by killing the desktop app and then launching it via mattermost://
url (it launches, but not to the right room).
I’ve tried setting breakpoints in triageArgs, but they aren’t hit if you load the app while it’s already running

Interesting. I’m still getting it on linux, but I’ll ask the user who first reported it (on macos) to try the nightly build (unless you have a release planned soon).
