When attempting to send a direct message to someone I met in the Github class BITS recently concluded), I tried to @mention "bits" in the message. I followed the instructions given, which said to place my cursor at the beginning of the username, immediately before the @ sign. However, the autocomplete feature fails to provide @mention suggestions regardless of where the cursor is positioned.
Problem summary
When attempting to send a direct message to someone I met in the Github class BITS recently concluded), I tried to @mention "bits" in the message. I followed the instructions given, which said to place my cursor at the beginning of the username, immediately before the @ sign. However, the autocomplete feature fails to provide @mention suggestions regardless of where the cursor is positioned.
Steps to reproduce
Expected
Autocomplete should work for @mentions whether the cursor is before or after the @ sign, or at least as instructed by the interface.
Actual
Autocomplete fails to activate, and no suggestion is provided.
