telegram-purple, after reconnection channels are recreated and not reused

[anssi@…]

I use telegram-purple through bitlbee so I have all possible chats in single irssi window. One particularly annoying feature is that when telegram reconnects it loses existing chat windows and then I have to do magic to get them back where they were.

1. use normally, #realchannel is in irc-channel #realchannel
2. telegram reconnects, #realchannel shows netsplit
3. after a while bitlbee opens #chat_000 irc-channel for that #realchannel. Old window stays dead, new channel works.
4. if I close #realchannel in irc whole bitlbee segfaults
5. after bitlbee restart/reconnect+reauth telegram chat opens in original #realchannel

With other bitlbee chatnets (facebook, sipe, gtalk) window namings seem to work better although I don't do groupchats that much on others.

Any ideas whether this is telegram-purple related thing (some chat/window id differs from original) or bitlbee issue on window handling?

I can't reproduce this. Using telegram-purple 1.2.2beta-1

When the account is disconnected, it leaves the channel saying "[Chatroom closed by server]", which seems like it would make the rest impossible.

Also please try again with the latest git master, there are possibly relevant fixes.

Ping?

Somewhat forgotten... Issue still exists. Nowadays I get channels #foo, #foo_, #foo__, #foo___ etc.

Bitlbee 3.4.1-1 (Debian). Telegram-purple dev-1.3.0 git head.

How does bitlbee allocate channels? (i.e. in which function do I start printf-debugging)
