"Go to quote" and "Was a reply to" filter interactions

Contribute UX

AI-generated summary

Ellibereth and [/t/-/119152/2) report issues with the “Go to quote” and “Was a reply to” filter interactions on both mobile and desktop. When filtering by a user’s posts and clicking on the arrow to go to a quoted post or a post that was replied to, the filter remains active instead of showing the relevant post. Ellibereth also experiences a similar issue with notifications, where clicking on a notification from a different user while filtered on another user’s posts does not take them to the post where they were mentioned. sam agrees that the filter should be removed in these situations.

On mobile and desktop: When you filter by someone’s posts and then click on the arrow to go
to quoted post - it should undo the filter or unhide the appropriate post. Right now the filter stays on and instead of going to the quoted post you see a post by the filtered user.

On mobile: When you filter by someone’s posts and click on the “was a reply to” arrow - it should also undo the filter or unhide the appropriate post. Right now it goes to a post by the filtered user.

Good topic on meta to see what I’m talking about is this one: Custom Wizard Plugin 🧙, with filtering angus since it’s relatively lengthy and he quotes/replies to a bunch of people.

The mobile parts of the above may work well with this suggestion: Could we get the link to post replies in mobile view? - #7 by mcwumbly

Recently been getting a rather annoying behavior that’s another version of the above:

If I’m filtered on a particular user (A) and get a notification for that same topic from a different user (B), if I click on the notification I don’t go to the post where I was pinged/quoted by B - I stay in the set of filtered posts made by A. Clicking on topic notifications should probably also undo the filter.

Remove filter by user on any link click

Yeah we should probably remove the filter at this point. Agree with that.
