Steps to reproduce

The "@‍room" tag, messaging everyone in the room, no longer shows up as a "tag" for me in Browser Element. It is just the word "@‍room". I believe this is a bug because it is a regression (it used to work, as recently as 2 months ago) and because in other clients the same "@‍room" instances show up as a tag.

Outcome

What did you expect?

I expect that if someone has room-notify permissions "@‍room" will appear in a special way, such as in an oval, to show it is a mention. I expect that if someone does NOT have these permissions, it will show up as just the text "@‍room". Thus, to me "@‍room" rendering special or not is an important signal because it shows whether or not the notify-all worked¹.

So for example this is what a friend of mine sees in Element for Linux (Flatpak, Element version: 1.11.50, Olm 3.2.15). This is my "expected behavior".

When I look in the Element Android client I see essentially the same.

What happened instead?

This is what I see in browser:

This screenshot was taken on the same account as the Android version which worked. Reloading the page did not change the appearance.

¹ It was a little inconvenient, I moderate a bimonthly meeting where I need to announce the beginning by typing "@‍room", it didn't seem to do anything, so while trying to ask others if it was working I typed "@‍room" several more times and now I think I was spamming people with messages.

Note: In the interest of not spamming the Github user named "Room" I have inserted zero-width spaces into all instances of "@‍room" in this message.
