Channel windows close upon reconnect with mode +R #824

Open irssibot opened 12 years ago

irssibot commented 12 years ago

Channel windows will be closed if the join fails on a reconnect, such as if the channel's mode is +R (nickserv identification required) and automatic identification is not utilized. Suggest leaving channels open on join failure if the window buffer has data within it.

After further inspection of the source code, I could see that suggestion being impractical due to the very much separated front and back ends of the program. While my suggestion before would not be practical, it would still be nice if some thing was done to keep a channel window open in the text frontend if rejion is failed. Possibly through some kind of flag or something that the frontend could use, but I'm sure people more familiar with irssi's source code could probably come up with something more elegant than that.
