Activity.Text is set to filename and not the message text when sending a Slack message with attachment

See original GitHub issue

Version

What package version of the SDK are you using. 4.10.3

Describe the bug

When sending a message in Slack with an attachment, the turnContext.Activity.Text property is populated with the file name and not the message text.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a bot and connect it to Slack using Azure Bot Service.
In Slack, type a message that also includes an attachment.
Check out the properties of turnContext in OnMessageActivityAsync

Expected behavior

Expected that turnContext.Activity.Text is populated with the Slack message (“hey there, here’s an attachment” in the screenshot.) Actual: turnContext.Activity.Text is populated with the file name of the uploaded attachment.

Screenshots

Additional context

I can see the message in ChannelData, but I think the current behavior is incorrect. Text should be the message. It’s already possible to get the attachment filename via the Attachments property. For example, if I attach multiple files, the Text property is populated with just one of those file names.

@v-kydela, I have created a separate Issue 280 to track the fix in ABS. Adding @arturl , @craigjensen @bwamie for visibility. Also, moving this issue out of the R12 release.

Looks like there is an ongoing effort on fixing this bug. I am exempting it from DRI.
