Just for the record I'm not seeing this on win32 (yes I know its filed against
linux os).

David could you confirm this is still happening on linux ?

It's still happening on linux as of today's build.  You have to close the
chatzilla window (which leaves the channel) then reopen it to get it to show
your nick.

Advice, don't ever join a channel initially with a long or silly nickname (akk
was taken due to a chatzilla that crashed and didn't clear the name from the
channel, so I logged in with akkWhyIsThereAnotherAkkHere and got stuck seeing
that for every comment I made :-)

This seems to have gotten fixed somewhere along the way.
