This modifies the composer completion such that completing a room or user will insert an IMMUTABLE matrix.to LINK Entity for the range that was replaced. Display names will not have a colon after their name anymore as it seemed strange that we would insert one after a pill.
`Array.prototype.splice` will return the array of removed items, not a new array. The array operated on is actually modified in-place.
This was causing a few weird things to happen: https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/4511 and https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/4533. This should fix both of them but it is concerning that doing the tab completion is required to reproduce. Let's just see how this goes before closing the issues.
Thanks @turt2live for reproducing both bugs, giving enough information for a fix :)
Accepting an invite would cause a room to arrive via /sync only for it to throw an error in the auto complete code and cause the client to go wibbly (infinite spinner or preview bar).
The logs that lead to the debugging of this are https://github.com/matrix-org/riot-web-rageshakes/issues/239
Hopefully the error being throw isn't totally unrelated but looking at the sync handling for inviteRooms in sync.js, new rooms are stored and _then_ the Room event is emitted. The Room event could trigger setUserListFromRoom, which is where the bug was. So the room should have been stored regardless of this bug and the client should have been recoverable by swapping away and viewing the room again.
QueryMatcher: sort results based on the position of the query within the matching value. The closer to the beginning of the word, the higher the result apears.
UserProvider: perf improvement (slice early) and refactor onUserSpoke
