           Summary: Timed reconnect cannot be cancelled without closing
                    whole network tab
           Product: konversation
           Version: 1.2.3
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: contact at eloxoph.com


When getting kicked from a server Konversation will depending on the
configuration attempt a reconnect in X seconds.

Now if an actual reconnect takes place it is possible to stop it using /quit or
/disconnect.

But during that X seconds until the reconnect attempt gets actually triggered,
there seems to be no way to unqueue that reconnect attempt except
  a) being very fast when it actually happens and kill it off before e.g. the
server ban kills it off and another reconnect gets scheduled (assuming you're
throttled/banned)
 b) closing the whole network tab with all open channels/queries to stop any
timed reconnect attempts although you probably wanted to reuse the tabs lateron
after some delay.

This is especially annoying e.g. when getting throttled by a server during a
reconnect so any additional reconnect attempt will enhance/prolong the
throttling and an actual reconnect with subsequent server killoff due to the
throttle will happen so fast that you can't type /quit while it happens.

So to stop the reconnecting you need to close the whole network tab to give
that throttle a chance to calm down so you may actually get back to that server
after some time - but then of course with all channels/queries you had
previously opened closed.
