This document tracks identified bugs, edge cases, and architectural discrepancies found during the audit of the Lotus Chat codebase. Recommended fixes are provided for each item.
- **Issue:** Avatar decorations appear displaced left of the avatar when viewing the profile modal.
- **Root Cause:** The `AvatarPresence` badge sticking out to the right shifts the center of the `inline-flex` container. The decoration centers on the container, not the avatar.
- **Recommended Fix:** Wrap only the `Avatar` component with `AvatarDecoration`.
- **Issue:** When someone is screensharing and another participant turns on their camera, there is no way to switch the primary display to the camera or go fullscreen on it.
- **Recommended Fix:** Implement a "Focus" toggle on participant tiles that overrides the automatic screenshare spotlight.
- **Issue:** Some animated backgrounds (like Fireflies) cause flickering/flashing of the message text and composer area on certain browsers/GPUs.
- **Recommended Fix:** Ensure animations are scoped strictly to background properties (`background-position`, `background-size`) and do not use properties like `filter` or `opacity` on the main container.
### 6. Avatar Decorations not displaying in Element Call UI
- **Issue:** When in a voice call or room with users it displays the avatar of the users and their mute status etc... but doesn't display their avatar decorations on their pictures.
### 7. DM and Group Message Calls
- **Issue:** Call ring is very loud and not customizable, also if the user is already in an active call/or voice room it won't ring at all until the user leaves.
### 8. Seasonal Themes and Chat Backgrounds need EXTREME design improvements.
- **Issue:** Basic css or random moving lines are not good artwork or design theory. Requires extensive research on css backgrounds wallpapers and app theming, these should be multi-day projects PER background and theme. As if a whole team spent a entire project sprint on a single one.
