Message with a link changes colour when clicked. #103
Description
Activity
This is caused by
NSTextFieldresetting certain styling options, like text color, to their default values during text selection. Just clicking on a message counts as selection too.
I have no idea whyNSTextFielddoes that. It seems to be a common problem, although I haven't found any good fixes yet.
An option would be to use SwiftUI'sTextinstead, see #112.NSTextField uses an optimization pattern where for static content it uses a very lightweight and performant text renderer, but as soon as you interact with it, it will swap it out with an NSTextView under the hood, which has way more features such as highlighting text.
The reason why I want to keep NSTextField if possible is because it is way more performant, especially if many text fields are drawn, which is the case with the timeline.
The reason why the timeline was rewritten using AppKit was because SwiftUI was way too slow and the timeline was jumping alot when updating.
Understandable. However I tried around a little and I don't see a way to make the text coloring work with
NSTextField. Maybe someone else will find a fix 🤷♂️The new timeline #118 replaces this with NSTextView which should solve the issue
