[account switch] appearance settings reset to default when switching account

Originally reported by @SagXD on Matrix.

Also found an annoying bug Whenever you switch accounts in Raccoon, the content and application appearance settings change back to default

This is not reproducible but there is actually a bug when logging in with an existing account but with a different capitalization in the user name (which on Lemmy is not case-sensitive but as long as account settings in Raccoon are concerned it is).

But I have two account on Raccoon both have same username.

• @sag@lemm.ee
• @sag@lemy.lol

and both also have same display user name. Is this bug is related to this?

Now, I also can't reproduce it.

That would be another bug... the pair username + instance is used to determine whether the account exists or not.

If the settings reset happened just once, the first time you logged in with the new account, this is the intended behavior of the app.

It happen again. I have one more account @sag@xyx.tld(Not Real Username) which have no display username at all. After switching to it and switching back to my lemm.ee account, Raccoon set my appearance and content setting to default. Advance setting also set back to default.

Ok, I understand. I made some checks and I invite you to please wait for next week's development release, uninstall the current app, reinstall the new pre-release build and repeat the steps to see whether this is solved (at it appears to me in my tests).

[SagXD]

OK, I will.
