When trying to create a link using the mention system seems to not work more times than it does. Sometimes, I put down an @ type the three letters and get a drop down list of articles to link, or the option to create a new article.

The majority of the time, it does nothing. No drop down menu, no offer to create and article, nothing.

Steps to Reproduce

Just open an article and try to link some stuff with the mention system.

Operating System

Windows

Browser

Google Chrome

Related Entity

Mention links in articles.

This started happening to me yesterday. I thought maybe it was my laptop, because it's small and doesn't have much processing power, but I tried it on my phone and on my PC at home and I'm still encountering the same issue. :'(

Same issue here. Usually it works, but sometimes it doesn't. Just for the sake of it, I tested it:

  • In the same paragraph as an existing link (it worked).
  • On the same line with a pre-existing link (twice, on two separate lines; one worked, one did not).
  • In a new paragraph with no link (it worked).

There doesn't seem to be any correlation for when it does or does not work. Which is frustrating, because that makes it harder for the devs to find the cause. All I can say is that several of my articles are having this problem and I can't seem to find a correlation between when it works and when it doesn't.
