198548 - ``Open at Startup'' view is duplicated when re-connection to network occurs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[Max Alekseyev]

Chatzilla 0.8.23 [Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030320]

To reproduce:
1. Setup some channel (e.g. #test) to ``Open at Startup''
2. Connect to irc-network
3. A view for #test is opened
4. Drop an internet connection for a while, so ChatZilla has to reconnect to
irc-network
5. When reconnection happens, a new (duplicated) view for #test is opened

Expected result: already opened view should be ``re-used''

I don't see this.  Maybe you got a different server the second time.  It would
still be a bug in that case.

Yeah, I can confirm this occurs, but only for networks where ChatZilla has more
than one defined server (and thus usually gets a different one after a random
network problem).

I /believe/ it occurs because ChatZilla keeps the channel objects within the
server objects, and thus the channels on the newly connected server aren't the
same ones, so it opens a new view. But it's quite annoying when it does. :)

The chatzilla 0.9.x branch has landed on the trunk and should be available in
tomorrow's nightly build.  If you believe this bug has not actually been fixed,
please repoen it.

Bug 239507 is very much like this one.
