When creating an update with a mention through the API with mentions_list, the resulting update includes a light gray rectangle of blank space directly on the right edge of the mention. This happens regardless of which board it is on, and who is being mentioned.
Interestingly, if you edit the update, make no changes, and save it, the blank space vanishes. Is there a way around this blank space being automatically added? I know there are other ways to visually simulate a mention, but they donāt send notifications. I would like to avoid having to have one mention (for aesthetics) directly followed by another mention of the same person (for functionality) if possible.
Also, it would be nice to be able to have the mention in between 2 substrings of text (rather than always having it at the end); this seems like it should be possible since, when you add an update through the UI, the mention can go anywhere in the text. Although I understand this may not be possible yet, the main issue is I would like to get rid of the strange blank space that appears next to the mention. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
