Description
Steps to reproduce
So while the RightPanel's behaviour has improved a lot since #19660 was closed, I think we may have oversteered a bit in terms of tracking per-room rightpanel state at too fine a granularity.
Specifically, it's really tripping me up that rooms now remember the last MemberInfo you looked at. Repro steps:
- View a room
- Look at some random user (typically for moderation purposes)
- Do whatever needs to be done
- Look at other rooms
- Several hours/days elapse
- You happen to look at the original room again
- You have a massive MemberInfo staring back at you of this random user, who you no longer care about at all - causing massive cognitive dissonance. "Why is
@randomidiot:matrix.org
the posterchild of Matrix HQ? I don't even remember viewing their member info..."
Outcome
What did you expect?
Rooms shouldn't freak you out by showing you specific old MemberInfos when you open them; only that you were doing something in the MemberList.
What happened instead?
I keep getting freaked out by randoms jumping out at me in the RightPanel whenever I view a room.
