Room name missing after being kickend and rejoining

[languitar]

Description

A few days ago I was kicked out of the neovim/neovim (gitter matrix) room because of memory constraints on my small homeserver. I fixed the homeserver memory issues and rejoined the room with one of my desktop clients. Joining succeeded and on that Element Desktop I see again a room called "neovim/neovim". Other desktop clients + the Android client do not have any meta information about that room and only show it as a list of member names in the form "user1 and 2985 others".

Steps to reproduce

Probably hard to reproduce due to the involved memory limit.

How do you create debug logs on Element Desktop?

You can submit debug logs in the Help & About section of Settings.

I don't get it. I always search for settings in the menu bar of a desktop application... they don't exist for Element there ;-)

Clearing cache restored the room name.

[aaronraimist]

No it isn't in the menu bar. You must've found them to be able to clear the cache. You click on your display name in the top left corner and then click Settings.

Yes I found it. It's just counter intuitive that UI patterns that have evolved over the last 25 years are starting to fall apart ;-)
