Room breaks if you part it on another client.

Open ara4n opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Steps to reproduce

  1. Be in a room
  2. Leave it on (say) Element Web
  3. Open Element X
  4. Search for the room
  5. Discover you're still in it
  6. Send some messages
  7. They fail with "Sending failed [OK]"
  8. You are never parted from the room, until much later (unclear when)

Outcome

What did you expect?

Leaves should get picked up rapidly.

What happened instead?

I got stuck in a zombie room because EX didn't pick up the leave.

This still appears to be an issue. When you open the room you see a new state event being added saying you left. At this point when you return to the room list the room will now have been removed.

Still a case today, and causing T&S issues.

It is a backend issue with SSS: https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17753.

Tested again today.

EXI

✅ Room list: a room left from another client is automatically removed from the remove list even if the list is filtered ❌ Timeline: you can still send a message in the left room:

EXA

EXA is fine on the 2 test cases. The timeline is replaced by the room preview screen:
