The last-message preview (alt text) shown for a report in the Search recent chats / Chat Switcher list does not match the preview shown for the same report in the LHN (sidebar). They should be identical.
Known differences observed so far:
- Actor prefixes are missing in the Search list. In rooms/groups, the LHN prepends the sender to the preview (e.g.
Actor: message), but the Search list shows the bare message with no actor prefix.
- The
You: prefix is missing in the Search list for messages sent by the current user.
Context / history
This appears to be an accidental regression from the Search↔LHN decoupling refactor in #67073. The goal there was to decouple Search from the LHN for performance and DX reasons; keeping the previews identical was most likely missed. sosek108 has confirmed it's a bug and is preparing a fix, and may surface additional inconsistencies while investigating.
Expected behavior
Text previews in the Search / Chat Switcher list should stay identical to what the LHN displays for the same report — including actor prefixes (Actor: in rooms/groups) and the You: distinction.
