Thread fallback replies are all red

[noantiq]

Steps to reproduce

1. Do not have threads enabled.
2. From another account send a message to that room.
3. From that same account create a thread from that message and send another message in that thread.

Outcome

What did you expect?

Since threads are disabled, the thread reply is simply rendered as a reply.

What happened instead?

The thread reply is rendered as a reply but all of the reply text and the cited message are red. See screenshot below.

Hi, @janogarcia Please advise the correct behaviour here

[janogarcia]

The message shouldn't be highlighted unless there's a user-defined keyword or her name is found in the text. There's nothing particular about threads that should trigger a highlight, the reply fallback should follow the same highlighting rules as regular messages. /cc @ismailgulek

Out of scope but worth mentioning: We should change the mention status for something less visually alarming.

@noantiq Does this also happen with regular, non-loremipsum text? I'm wondering if there's any matching keyword in there that's is the highlight.

[noantiq]

@janogarcia Yes this happens for every message. I made sure there was no keyword triggering it.

I took another screenshot for clarification:

Thanks for confirming and the extra screenshot, noantiq. 👍

@ismailgulek This seems to be a bug. Please make sure that the reply fallback for threads follows the same rule as regular replies for message highlighting.
