GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 722506
changing nickname is not working
Last modified: 2021-06-10 11:04:52 UTC
- Open connection window - Open the server - change the nickname and click apply, and close the Connection window - Observe that your nickname actually wasn't changed - try to enable or disable the server, but without success - then close polari and restart it. observe that you're nick didn't change. weirdly changing nick using the nick field beside the text widget is working fine, it change the nick immediately and it's kept between restart.
Created attachment 336089 [details] [review] connections: Fix changing nick doesn't work The problem was changing nick name on the connections popup was not changing updating the nickname on the servers. The nickname was updated on the dialog itself. Adding set_nickname_async call to the _updateAccount method sets the nickname for the server correctly and fixes the issue.
Hi, this issue is still open?
Still happens with 3.22.
On 3.24 if you change the nickname and click apply, it doesn't change the nickname. However if you right click on the server and click on "reconnect" it changes the nickname. Is it the intended behavior or should I try to find a way to change the nickname directly ?

On 3.24, I can't even get it to change after reconnecting. Even closing Polari and reopening doesn't solve it. You have to use "/nick" to have it change beyond just the dialog.
Didn't realize you could also change your nick by clicking on it. That still works.
that's a serious usability problem, like one setting scattered all over the place but it does the correct thing only at one place? i bet that changing the nick by clicking on it is actually invoking the nick command. this weird behavior is still valid in 3.26.2
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Polari, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/polari/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
