GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 760039
Can’t join a re-join a redirected room
Last modified: 2016-05-15 07:26:34 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Join chat.freenode.net (but don’t identify with NickServe!) 2. Joing the #fedora room You’ll get an empty room with no participants for #fedora, and you’ll also join a second room called #fedora-unregistered where you’re told to identify with NickServe and then try to join #fedora again. 3. Identify with NickServe 4. Click on the #fedora room in the sidebar Nothing happens. There is no way to rejoin. 5. Right-click on Fedora and choose to Leave channel 6. Join #fedora again using the Join channel dialog Expected: You should be able to rejoin #fedora once you’ve done as you’re told in #fedora-unregistered. Actual: Fedora will always show up with no members and you can’t join the room. Notes: As the list of room is re-joined automatically when you start Polari, this bug becomes very annoying very fast. Users must remember to leave #fedora before exiting Polari to be able to identify with NickServe first and then join #fedora afterwards. System info: Polari 3.18.1 as distributed with 64-bit Fedora 23.

This happens to me too, it used to work once but oddly it stopped working. Also what might be related: 1. I used to have two manually added servers, GNOME and Freenode. 3.20 came out and I deleted the manually added Freenode and added it with the recommended preset values. I didn't do the same for GNOME because I had saved history there I wanted to keep. Joining the Archlinux room used to work at the time. 2. When the Archlinux room stopped working I tried deleting and readding it, but I added it to GNOME by mistake (which it oddly completed), and I got a room (can't remember whether locked or not) with history from the Archlinux room from the old Freenode connection. The title was just plain 'archlinux' 3. Now I cannot connect to GNOME, it's just loading fail loading fail loading FAIL in quick succession. All the rooms are locked there.
polari 3.20.2-1 on Arch.
