Links in AI topic summary don't work until page refresh

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

sk-or-v1-contents reports a medium-priority bug where links within AI topic summaries fail to navigate to specific posts until the page is manually refreshed. The issue occurs on Edge for Android and is reproducible by clicking a link in an AI-generated summary that points to a post within the same topic; the page does not jump to the target initially, though a refresh resolves it. A variant of the bug is noted when the “show top replies only” filter is active: if the linked post is hidden by this filter, the link fails entirely without a refresh, preventing the post from appearing. sk-or-v1-contents included a screen recording and noted that Safe Mode cannot be used to test because it removes the AI summary button. However, NateDhaliwal confirmed that the bug persists even when themes and components are disabled in Safe Mode, suggesting the issue is core to the plugin or platform rather than theme-related. sam acknowledged the report, confirming that the development team is aware of the issue and will work to resolve it.

Priority/Severity: Medium?

Platform: Edge on Android, meta.discourse.org (cannot use safe mode since it removes the AI summary button)

Description:
Links in a topic summary that goes to a post within the topic don’t work until a page refresh.

Reproducible steps:
Click on a link in the AI summary that links to a post in the topic.

The page does not jump down to that post. However, refreshing the page makes it jump.

PS Sorry if it should use another category due to it being a plugin issue (?).

A variant of this: If “show top replies only” is enabled, and the link would jump to a post hidden by “top replies only” filter, then the link won’t work and the post won’t show, without refreshing.

It also doesn’t work even if you have themes and components disabled here in safe mode.

Confirmed this is something we will sort out.
