since 1.42, we have some dialogs that pop up when a contact requires to be "green checkmarked" but is not, eg.
on android/ios, the "Scan QR code" button opens the "QR Code" activity that allows showing and scanning QR codes (last tab is remembered). desktop forces scanning, however, still allows showing QR code - which makes a lot of sense, the functionality seems fine.
however, the wording may be regarded as being bit imprecise when the dialog button reads "Scan QR code" and the dialog is opened at "show" and "scan" requires another tap. otoh, while i totally get the point why it may be confusing, "Scan QR code" can also be read as the process of interacting with QR codes, no matter who scans or shows.
question is, if there is a better wording for the button that covers both cases better and is equally actionable, short (button text!) and easy to understand.
there is also the option to open the "QR Code" activity really always in scan-mode, but it is not sure if this is a more helpful default in practise - and it would also block improving wrt showing group-invites directly (currently we do not), we may land easier in issues when the camera is not functional, and the current hint is also pretty generic (and less helpful than "Scan this to chat with ...")
