Instagram links open twice and PDF drag-and-drop not supported (v6.2.4)

[PlunderPatcher]

First of all, @rafatosta, congratulations on the excellent work you’ve been doing on ZapZap. It’s a great app to run WhatsApp on Linux, and I really appreciate your effort.

The main issue is with Instagram links. Whenever I click an Instagram link inside ZapZap, it opens twice in my browser (two tabs). Any other type of link opens normally, but Instagram links always open duplicated.

There is also another issue with PDF files. If I drag and drop a PDF directly into the conversation, ZapZap shows an unsupported format error. However, if I click the attach button and select the same PDF file manually, it sends normally. So the problem seems to affect only drag and drop.

I’m not using the latest version. I’m currently on version 6.2.4, the one recommended in this comment:
#513 (comment) because I had problems with the app opening and then immediately closing, and I had to try several times until it stayed open. I’m not sure if this has already been fixed, but I stayed on the older version because of that.

For the drag-and-drop option, folder permissions are required via Flatseal. The menu uses the Flatpak portals. I cannot allow access to user folders by default due to security and Flathub policies.

Regarding the links, I will check and try to find a possible fix.

I just remembered another issue related to the context menu on messages.

When I right-click inside or near the message bubble, ZapZap does not show the WhatsApp context menu (reply, forward, delete etc.). Instead, it shows only a “Check spelling” menu, which seems to come from the system (?).

To actually open the WhatsApp context menu with the mouse, I need to right-click at the same vertical level as the message bubble, but outside of it, not directly on top of it. If I click inside or too close to the bubble, the wrong menu appears.
