Sharing a link via iMessage does not open iMessage window

When trying to share a link via iMessage in Safari it doesn't open the iMessage window since upgrading. If I manually open iMessage after clicking share there is a new message with the link and I can take it from there, choose recipient and send normally. This a bug I presume?

Mac mini, macOS 10.13

Have the same problem and was wondering if it's a privacy setting problem. I use this feature all the time - and was able to just fire them off while reading articles and doing research. Even if Messages is running already, you still have to make it the forefront app to complete sending the shared safari link to the message app by hitting enter physically.
