Joining safe channel on ircnet (http://www.stealth.net/~kalt/irc/channel.html)
using short name creates  two tabs - one for !channel and second for !PREFXchan.
The window for !channel can't be closed, since when trying to "leave" the
channel (there seems to be no other way to close window) server replies
"!channel: No such nick/channel" and window is not closed. (same hapens during !
channel creation)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Join any existing !channel, or create new !channel via joining !!chan.


Actual Results:  Mozilla creates tab immediately.

Expected Results:  Wait for JOIN comming from server.

Is this simply a case of the server joining you to a channel with a different
name to that used in the original JOIN command?

Currently (as far as I know) ChatZilla will create the tab as you execute the
/join command locally, perhaps specifically not doing this for !-channels would
help (since it'll create the tab when the server replys anyway)?

Since the problem only exists for attempting to join channels starting with "!",
I think we could safely hold off on the tab/view creation in such situations.
This would mean nothing happens client-side until the server replies saying
we've join !PREFIXchannel, at which point we create that tab.

Chatzilla 0.9.54 is now available and has landed on the trunk (cvs). This should
have resolved this bug; if it has not, please reopen it.
