Channel display name not replacing #-style name

[Valinwolf]

What should say "Construct Test" says "#construct:flobob.ovh"

If you don't mind, can you open up devtools in Riot and check the room state to see if it contains an m.room.name and m.room.canonical_alias? Room name calculations are actually part of the spec, and complicated enough to still remain a mystery to me.

Also try to Clear Cache and reload and see if the name is recalculated

For the kicks, shortly after making this post I used the room settings to edit the name. I was surprised to find it actually let me set the name. As such it does have m.room.name, but not m.room.canonical_alias. It also has not loaded a channel avatar for it, as you can see in the screenshot, which is probably related to the same underlying issue.

As for clear cache and reload, I've done it about (give or take a half dozen) 9 times since I joined the channel with no change in the channel. Anytime I find an issue I hit that button, about half the time it actually fixes the issue lol.

This is not rejected with an error while construct is in development, my apologies for it being unexpected.

Yes, I'm really not sure why Riot sees the m.room.name but doesn't apply it. There is likely more Construct can do to feed Riot exactly what it expects from Synapse and when and how it expects it, but I don't know at this point.

But it does have an m.room.avatar event present in the room state?

I wrote my last message without having noticed that your address bar says riot.im. Are you using the matrix.org server in that screenshot? I was under the impression you're reporting a bug using Riot on a Construct server, no?

[Valinwolf]

No, I'm using my Construct server in that screenshot so, yes, it is a bug using Riot on a Construct server.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't notice your first message because I replied on FastHub after fast scrolling to the bottom and didn't even think about the first part of your last message (sorry this is early for me). To answer your previous question, no m.room.avatar is not present.

I think there's a misunderstanding... there is only m.room.name because I set it. You can see in the event details, that it was actually me that set it:
