Mentions autosuggest not working on groups home page

[tobyhawkins]

Mentions autosuggest is not coming up for the “what’s new” box on group home page because the mentions.min.js isn't being loaded.

It seems that the group home page is failing the test done by bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts().

It fails on:
bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_blog_page()
and
comments_open() || is_admin()

Confirmed.

OP:
"I’ve fixed it using the following code in my bp_custom.php file, but I’m wondering if this is intended functionality, site-specific or a bug?"

function my_load_mentions_on_group_home_page( $retval ) {
	if( bp_is_group_home() )
		$retval = true;
	return $retval;
}
add_filter( "bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts", "my_load_mentions_on_group_home_page" );
