[desktop] Links in chat render as inactive: pointer cursor unchanged, click does nothing (regression in 1.18.33) #52255

Closed as not planned

Description

@fasdalf

Description

In the desktop app, URLs in assistant messages are rendered blue and underlined, but hovering over them does not change the mouse cursor to a pointer/link cursor, and clicking does nothing — neither the default browser nor the embedded viewer opens. Plain-text selection still works normally.

Rollback confirms this is a regression introduced in 1.18.33:

  • 1.18.32: links open in the default browser on click (hover cursor still shows arrow, minor cosmetic quirk)
  • 1.18.33: links are dead — no hover cursor change, no click handler fires

Related historical issues (both fixed previously, likely touched the same code path):

Plugins

No response

OpenCode version

1.18.33 (working: 1.18.32)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run any session and ask the model to include a URL in its reply (e.g. "send me a link to google")
  2. Hover over the rendered URL in the message
  3. Observe: cursor stays as arrow, underline-on-hover highlight appears
  4. Left-click the URL
  5. Nothing happens

Expected behavior

Hover shows pointer cursor and underline-on-hover highlight; click opens the URL in the default browser (as in 1.18.32).

Operating System

Linux (Debian-family, X11)

Notes

Verified by installing the official 1.18.32 deb alongside:
https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/releases/download/v1.18.32/opencode-desktop-linux-amd64.deb
Same machine, same user profile/config — 1.18.32 handles link clicks correctly.

    Thanks for the report! OpenCode 2.0 is now out and development is focused on V2, so we're closing issues filed against OpenCode 1. Please upgrade (opencode upgrade --major, details: https://anoma.ly/notes/opencode-2-0), and if this is still relevant on 2.0, reopen this issue or open a new one with your 2.0 version.
