1135645 - Opening a new IRC channel from the awesometab also restores from hold a channel with the same name on another network

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Instantbird Graveyard :: Conversation, defect)

Description

[Florian Quèze [:florian]]

Steps to reproduce:
1. I auto-join #gsoc on freenode and have it on hold.
2. Command+T to open the awesometab
3. type 'gsoc'
4. Select using the down arrow the #gsoc channel on moznet (that is there because it's returned by LIST)
5. Press enter.

Expected result: joined #gsoc on moznet and have a tab for it.

Actual result: restored #gsoc on freenode, and also joined #gsoc on moznet and opened (and selected) a second tab for it.

Interestingly, I ran into the exact same scenario today with one difference: the channel that got restored was the one selected, and the new channel was opened in the background.
I didn't realize this was already filed (or forgot). I'll try to look into it sometime soon.

On the behalf of Florian:
Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
