SSS: rooms often show a list of members rather than their m.room.name.

[ara4n]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open app on SSS
2. view room list
3. some rooms (specific rooms - e.g. #webrtc:matrix.org and #dendrite:matrix.org) quite consistently show the right avatar, but don't use m.room.name to display the name.

Theory: this is a backend bug where state confusion means the synapse isn't sending the m.room.name to the client at all.

Outcome

What did you expect?

Reliable room names

as an example for #dendrite:matrix.org being mangled

the problem here is that rust sdk should present the canonical alias a room name if a room has no explicit room name (but does have a canonical alias set). and it doesn’t.

I believe this has been fixed in the SDK.
