Forward a message containing an image and text from primary device. Message forwarded in secondary device only shows the image.

Tested with:

Windows 2.48.0  
Android 2.49.0

both as primary and secondary, same result.

Expected result:

Forwarded message is shown complete in secondary device, exactly as it appears in primary device.

I tested with latest Windows version (2.49.1) and the problem persists.

The reception of the message is correct in both clients (Windows 2.49.1, Android 2.49.0). The missing text only happens in the other sender’s device history.

Excellent.

I haven’t found a reference here, and since it’s a pretty convoluted bug that generates distrust in what the other party is receiving, I wrote about it before I forgot.
