Hyperlinks displayed in the topic notification bar of multi user chats are plain text and not clickable yet.
They are clickable in the system message displayed in the conversation content already and I think it's reasonable to assume that people would like to click them on the topic bar once the system message has scrolled out of view.

I think people would also expect to have the same context menu on these links that they already have on links in the conversation text.
The topic notification bar will probably go away soon, but we will still have a topic bar, so being able to click the links there will still be useful.
I'm not sure we should keep the topic system message when joining a MUC. It seems like an useless duplication, as the topic is already visible in the topic bar. Maybe we should display that system message only when the topic changes?

Possibly. But I was thinking of making an extension to hide the notification bar automatically. For me, just the message at the top is enough and the notification bar doesn't really add anything. I think the notification bar would be more useful if it could be shown again after hiding.

Updating the terminology to match the new top of the conversation UI we have.

Adding 1.3-wanted as we've had quite a few complaints about links in the topic not being accessible (usually phrased as "/topic doesn't display the topic").

One possibility would be to "unfold" the whole topic downwards on hover (so it is completely visible) and displaying the links as clickable while hovering. Clicking outside of a link would then as usual trigger the topic editor.

If I may add, the topic in IB 1.2 is not selectable at all, meaning I can't even copy a URL or piece of text out of the topic unless it is editable by me.

Yes, currently you have to scroll up (Ctrl-Home) to get to the topic in the conversation browser itself for that.

Too late to work on this for 1.3, replacing 1.3-wanted by 1.4-wanted in the whiteboard.

s/1.4-wanted/1.5-wanted/ in the whiteboard for bugs that probably won't happen before 1.4 is released.

On the behalf of Florian:
Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
