Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)

One interaction for every user reference (message author name and avatar, system messages, @mentions): hover opens the user card, click or Enter/Space opens the user info. The card is a pointer-only preview of what the user info shows. Today clicking opens the card, and the card's "See full profile" opens the user info.

UserCardProvider

  • Opens on hover after a 500 ms intent delay; leaving the trigger before that cancels it. A click (e.g. call history, contact history) still opens it right away.
  • Closes 300 ms after the pointer leaves the card, its trigger, or a menu spawned from the card (the kebab is portaled outside the card, so hover is tracked geometrically instead of with mouseleave).
  • Moving straight to another author hands the card off; the card shows a skeleton instead of the previous user's data while the next one loads.
  • Non-modal popover: it doesn't aria-hide the page or lock scroll, and never takes focus. Escape is handled at the document level (WCAG 1.4.13) and consumed, so it doesn't also close an underlying contextual bar; while a menu from the card is open, the menu owns Escape.
  • An explicit dismissal (Escape, the card's close button, an action) also cancels a pending hover open.
  • Where a click still opens the card (call history, contact history), only the trigger that opened it gets aria-expanded. Message and mention triggers no longer carry aria-haspopup, since activating them opens the user info.
  • UserCardDialog no longer uses react-aria's useDialog, which focused the card on mount: a card shown on hover would otherwise take focus from what the user is doing (e.g. typing in the composer).
  • The document listeners are bound through the card's ref callback for as long as the card is mounted (with Suspense inside the card container, so the ref attaches before the card's code loads), instead of an effect keyed on the open state.

Triggers

  • Message header, room/thread/system message avatars and mentions: hover opens the card, click opens the user info. Avatars are aria-hidden pointer shortcuts for the name button next to them, and their native tooltip is gone (the card answers the hover).
  • While messages are being selected, the author is not a trigger (the row toggles the selection).
  • gazzodown gets an onUserMentionHover handler next to onUserMentionClick.

Nothing visual changes in the card or the user info; that's the redesign in #41650. The video call changes that used to be here (creating a DM on demand) stay with the redesign in #41650.

Extracted from #41650 (user information redesign), where @ivans-netto built this behavior. Stacked on #42509; #41650 is stacked on top.

Issue(s)

CORE-1962 · DSN-176

Steps to test or reproduce

  1. Hover a message author's name, avatar, or an @mention: the card opens after a short delay and closes when the pointer leaves it.
  2. Move from one author straight to another: the card switches to the new user.
  3. Open the kebab in the card and move into the menu: the card stays open.
  4. Press Escape with the card open over an open contextual bar: only the card closes.
  5. Click an author or mention: the user info opens directly.
    5b. Tab to an author's name or a mention and press Enter/Space: the user info opens, same as a click.
    5c. Type in the composer and hover an author: the card opens and the composer keeps focus.
  6. Open a thread: hovering authors in the thread panel opens the card too; clicking opens the user info.

Further comments

  • UserCardProvider.spec.tsx covers the hover delay and cancel, Escape consumption, menus owning Escape, explicit dismissal cancelling a pending open, and the stable context value.
  • e2e updated: hover where a test needs the card, click where it needs the user info; the unused userCardToolbar page-object getter is removed.

Walkthrough

Message authors, avatars, and mentions now open user cards on hover and user info on activation. The card provider manages delayed opening, dismissal, and keyboard behavior. Contextual message lists disable hover cards. Eligible video-call actions can create a direct message when no room exists.

Changes

User-card interactions

Layer / File(s) Summary
User-card lifecycle and dismissal
apps/meteor/client/views/room/providers/UserCardProvider.tsx, apps/meteor/client/views/room/providers/UserCardProvider.spec.tsx, apps/meteor/client/views/room/UserCard/UserCardWithData.tsx, packages/ui-client/src/components/UserCard/*
The provider adds delayed hover opening, pointer-aware dismissal, and Escape handling. Click-opened cards set aria-expanded; hover-opened cards do not. The dialog no longer uses the dialog hook. Tests cover dismissal, handoff, scrolling, and focus behavior.
Hover policy and activation
apps/meteor/client/components/message/list/MessageListContext.tsx, apps/meteor/client/views/room/MessageList/providers/MessageListProvider.tsx, apps/meteor/client/components/message/*, packages/gazzodown/src/*, apps/meteor/client/views/room/contextualBar/*, apps/meteor/tests/e2e/*, .changeset/user-card-hover.md
The message-list context adds a configurable hover-card setting. Message names, avatars, and mentions open cards on hover when enabled and open user info on activation. Contextual message lists disable hover cards. E2E checks and the changeset reflect the updated interactions.
Federation-aware video-call actions
apps/meteor/client/views/room/contextualBar/RoomMembers/*, apps/meteor/client/views/room/contextualBar/UserInfo/*, apps/meteor/client/views/room/hooks/useUserInfoActions/*, apps/meteor/client/views/room/UserCard/UserCardWithData.tsx
User data passed to user-info actions now includes federation status. When no room exists, the video-call action requires permission to create direct messages and a non-federated user with a username. It creates the direct message before starting the call or dispatching the popup.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 10988

Keyboard activation opens user info as intended, but the updated end-to-end test expects a card and can time out. Correct the test before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 10988

The new interaction can fetch user details on hover and create a direct message when starting a call. Existing server-side permission checks constrain these operations. No introduced security vulnerability was established, but concurrent creation and interrupted-call recovery remain incompletely verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Message authors and resolved mentions select the preview target within the viewer's session. Explicit call activation can additionally affect a DM involving that viewer and target, then invoke conferencing under the viewer's permissions. No workspace-wide or cross-tenant authority expansion was established in this traced flow.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The inspected hover handlers only open the card; they do not invoke DM creation or conference start. Those operations are bound to a separate call-action click. This counters an attack path in which merely hovering attacker-selected message content automatically initiates a call.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — DM creation requires authentication and uses the session user ID rather than a caller-supplied acting identity. The server validates targets and enforces create-d permission, with a restricted existing-room fallback for view-d-room. Conference start separately checks room-specific call-management and message-send authorization, and only enables ringing with videoconf-ring-users.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The provider supplies timer cleanup on unmount and matching removal of card-mounted document listeners. Explicit dismissal cancels pending hover work, while username-keyed rendering and loading skeletons reduce the possibility of activating actions associated with the previous preview target.

Cover the full keyboard activation sequence.

The production user-mention trigger uses useButtonPattern. Enter or Space opens the user card on keydown, while the generated click opens the full profile. This test covers only keydown, so it does not detect a regression in the subsequent click behavior. Exercise the complete sequence with user-event in this test and the hover-to-keyboard test.

225-225: 🎯 Functional Correctness

The card action already closes the card. UserCardWithData.tsx calls onOpenUserInfo() and then onClose(), so the direct openUserInfo(username) callback does not leave the card open.

Interaction across every user reference (message author name and
avatar, system messages, user mentions): hovering opens the user card,
clicking or pressing Enter/Space opens the user info.

- UserCardProvider opens on hover after an intent delay and closes when
  the pointer leaves the card, its trigger or a menu spawned from it
  (tracked geometrically, since the popover is portaled). Moving from
  one author to another hands the card off, showing a skeleton instead
  of the previous user's data.
- The card is a non-modal popover and never takes focus; Escape is
  handled at the document level and consumed, so it doesn't also close
  an underlying contextual bar, unless a menu from the card is open.
- The document listeners are bound through the card's ref callback
  while the card is mounted.
- Lists inside the contextual bar (threads, search, message lists)
  don't open the card on hover, since it would cover the rows; clicking
  still opens the user info. While messages are being selected, the
  author is not a trigger.
- Mentions gain an onUserMentionHover handler in gazzodown.
- The video call action creates the direct message on demand instead
  of requiring one, and skips federated users.

the author's message keyboard trigger should have the same action as the click trigger, currently keyboard action opens the user card, it should open the user info tab

… a hover preview

Enter/Space on an author, system message user or mention now does what a click
does and opens the user info. The card is only shown on hover (or on click where
no user info exists, such as call and contact history), so the keyboard mode that
moved focus into a modal card is gone, and message and mention triggers no longer
claim to open a popup.

@dougfabris done in 109883d: Enter/Space on the message author, system message user and mentions now opens the user info, same as a click. The card is hover-only, so its keyboard mode is gone.

Fair. Reworked it:

  • f127d9f: the open/close timers, pending-open bookkeeping and the hand-off between authors are gone; useTooltipTriggerState from @react-stately/tooltip provides the open delay, the linger on leave, cancelling a pending open, and opening the next card right away once one has been shown.
  • 02b57e4: no more pointer geometry (no getBoundingClientRect of the card, trigger and every menu on each mousemove). The DOM side moved to useHoverCardDismissal, a callback-ref hook: enter/leave on the card, Escape, and keeping the card open while its own (portaled) menu is open. The click-only aria-expanded is dropped too.
  • 646ddaf, 071504e, 91473f4: fixes found testing it against open (native listeners, since React's synthetic enter/leave fires a leave when the card's content swaps under the pointer; same event family as the triggers so a fast move doesn't schedule a close nothing cancels).

The provider is now the tooltip state, the hook and the context.

Simplified in aab8bdc and 109883d. Against develop the header now only changes what the name does: click or Enter/Space opens the user info, hover opens the card, and while messages are being selected it isn't a button at all (the row toggles the selection). The per-list hover flag and its conditionals are gone, and so is the @username title that only existed where the card was disabled.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the members-list tab for keyboard activation.

The message-author trigger passes Space activation to openUserInfo. In this normal channel, openUserInfo opens the members-list room tab and dismisses any user-card popup. It does not open the User card dialog used by channelPage.userCard.

This test can therefore time out at waitForDisplay(). Update the test to assert and close the members-list tab instead.

A hover card stayed open while the pointer was over any menu on the page, such
as the composer's suggestions. Other menus now count only while the card's own
menu is open. Also pins the 500 ms hover delay in the spec and updates the
changeset to the click-and-keyboard behavior.

- The video call changes (on-demand DM, federated users) move to their own PR, #42535.
- The card opens on hover everywhere, including lists in the contextual bar, so
  the per-list hoverUserCardEnabled flag and its conditionals are gone.
- The keyboard e2e now checks that Space on the author opens the user info.
…ip trigger state

The open and close timers, the pending-open bookkeeping and the hand-off between
authors were hand-rolled. useTooltipTriggerState already provides the open delay,
the linger on leave, cancelling a pending open, and opening the next card right
away once one has been shown.

…pointer geometry

The card no longer measures its own rect, its trigger's and every menu on the
page on each mousemove. useHover reports entering and leaving the card; leaving
it for its own (portaled) menu keeps it open, and once that menu closes with the
pointer elsewhere the card follows. The Escape handling moves with it into
useHoverCardDismissal, a callback-ref hook.

The click-only aria-expanded on the trigger is dropped: the card is never
focused, so announcing it as expanded pointed at something a screen reader
cannot reach. Triggers keep aria-haspopup.
React's synthetic pointer enter/leave reported a leave when the card's content
was swapped under a resting pointer (the skeleton giving way to the loaded
card), closing it as soon as the pointer reached it. The card is now tracked
with native pointerenter/pointerleave listeners.
- The card closed 300 ms after loading when the pointer hadn't reached it yet:
  its kebab rendering as collapsed looked like its menu closing. Only an
  open-to-closed transition of the card's menu counts now.
- Passing over another trigger for the user already shown (their avatar next to
  the name) re-anchored the card, moving it out from under the pointer. The
  card now stays where it is.
… trigger

In a single fast move the browser fires pointerenter on the card before the
trigger's mouseleave, so the close scheduled by the trigger was never cancelled.
The card now listens to mouseenter/mouseleave, the same family as its triggers.

personally I don't like this, quite unnecessary change title and the aria-hidden. I'd remove from all message components, room thread and system

…t message

The call action creates the missing DM on demand for both the call window and
the call popup, instead of hiding the entry. It isn't offered to federated
users, since calls don't work over federation, so `federated` is threaded from
the card, user info and members list into the actions.

Extracted from #42510.
