812467 - Settings for password-protected chat rooms disappear on restart

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1427859

(Thunderbird :: Instant Messaging, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121024073032

Steps to reproduce:

In addition to a few password less XMPP chatrooms, I added a couple of password-protected XMPP chatrooms (with auto-join option set). They work fine but...


Actual results:

Every time I restart thunderbird, the password-protected chatrooms simply disappear from the "Conversations" list along with their settings. I am forced to reenter the settings and add these chatrooms upon every restart.


Expected results:

Password-protected chatrooms added to IM should have been correctly stored permanently and persist across restarts. Just like password-less chatrooms which persist across restarts.

Currently on the chat room names are stored, not passwords.

Comment 2

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Is this still an issue?

Comment 3

[Patrick Cloke [:clokep]]

I think this is essentially a duplicate of bug 955168 -- we don't properly save any information about chat rooms to re-join except the name of the chat room.

Actually bug 1427859 is probably a better duplcate.
