no channel windows on a bouncer

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

1. I am experiencing the following issue...
When I connect to a bouncer, I can't get channel windows to show up no matter 
what I do. http://i.imgur.com/DVTf3.png?1

2. To reproduce it, follow these exact steps:
I connected to a ZNC bouncer (/server -ssl user:pass server port)
I have no scripts loaded, this is a clean copy of jircii, unzipped into a new 
install of windows 8. I've tried using /window #chat, etc, but this does 
nothing.

3. The current behavior differs from my expectations, because...
I can't get channel windows to open no matter what I do.

Please verify the following:

    In Preferences -> Client Options -> Auto /Window, under "Create a window when...", "I join a channel." is checked / selected.

If it is not selected, please select it and make sure it is checked. Then 
restart jIRCii and connect to your bouncer. I hope this solves it.

The 'create a window when' boxes are all checked. I first connected with a 
brand-new clean install of jIRCii with an (almost) clean install of windows (as 
mentioned; it's not an upgrade--there were no .jircii files in my home 
directory), and I believe those are the defaults.

I've tried in both SDI and MDI mode as well, and I've tried using the /window 
commands (as mentioned).

I will try under linux next time I boot from a livecd. When I connect to a 
regular server directly, bypassing the bouncer, windows do not show up. I 
suspect that the ZNC bouncer is not sending some numeric expected by jIRCii 
when channel joins occur.

Actually, I think I have an idea of what's going on here, but I'm not entirely 
sure. I just connected to my bouncer, and while all my channel windows popped 
up, when I /join a channel that has a window, the channel is displayed in the 
Status window and the channel window doesn't pop up.

It MIGHT have something to do with the way the bouncer is communicating with 
IRC clients, but that wouldn't make much sense as there is no other client with 
such issues (AFAIK).

I am using ZNC bouncer as well. I will look into this.
