Hello!

As seen in the attached video, when another Matrix client is used to rename a room, whether encrypted or unencrypted, the room name in its respective tab is not updated until I close and reopen that same tab. Interestingly, the room name does update in the list of rooms. I suspect that perhaps this could be resolved by using a reference to the name of the room in the name of the tab for it, so that it updates properly like it does in the list.

Would be happy to look into this myself with any insight anyone would have to share!

Hey @aaravlu , would you be alright with me fixing this instead? I would be happy to do so. If not, then no worries! :)

Thanks for the report! I think I was aware of this a while ago, but forgot about it due to other things cropping up. Thanks for volunteering to fix it, too! ❤
