Shows how channels are attempted to be join before NickServ's confirmation

Some channels in Freenode, such as ##c and python, require a user to be registered (and confirmed) to join the channel.

However, xchat-gnome attempts to auto-join the channel before NickServ confirms one's identity, which means that such registered-only channels are not auto-joined on connect, but have to be joined manually.

Following attachment is what usually happens when I connect to Freenode, in which NickServ replys AFTER the attempts to join ##c and #python.

xchat-gnome is not under active development anymore.
Its codebase has been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/xchat-gnome/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather reactivate the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
You may want to switch to Hexchat (or another IRC client that suits you).
