Before you file a crash report

• I have checked the issue tracker and have not found an issue that matches the one I'm filing.
• This issue doesn't reproduce on web browsers (such as in Chrome). If it does, issue reports go to the Mattermost Server repository.
• I have read the contribution guidelines.

Mattermost Desktop Version

5.9.0

Operating System

Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS x64

Mattermost Server Version

No response

What type of crash did you experience?

System crash (The application quit unexpectedly with no warning, or the operating system reported a crash)

Crash report details

tl;dr:

Linux Client crashes on error https://foo.server/error?type=channel_not_found&returnTo=/barGroup/channels/town-square

Details:

Given a direct chat between two users A and B. If there exists a link to channel in the direct chat between those two users

hey, look into ~myChannel

it of course links to https://foo.server/barGroup/channels/mychannel. Click on it, and the channel mychannel opens. If the user A is also in another group foobar_group

https://foo.server/foobar_group/

where the channel mychannel does not exist and he clicks on the same link within the direct chat, mattermost throws the exception

https://foo.server/error?type=channel_not_found&returnTo=/foobar_group/channels/town-square

which is fine in browser, but it crashes the Linux client.

Additional Information

hope it helps :)

@Scoeerg Is this consistently reproducible? If so, can you try running the client from the command line and reproducing? There might be some additional logs there - it's looking like Chromium is crashing somehow.

[Scoeerg]

Sure, let me look into it tomorrow :)

[devinbinnie]

@Scoeerg Were you able to reproduce with additional information?

[Scoeerg]

Sorry, I could not do it before my vacation :/. I will be back September 30th.
