            Bug ID: 330201
           Summary: Reconnect doesn't work properly, if using a single
                    identity only
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konversation
           Version: 1.5
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konversation-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: hpj at urpla.net

The configure settings reconnect delay and reconnect retries is misleading,
since when sitting behind a router, that is typically reconnecting every 24
hours, the reconnect most often fails,
if a single nickname is used only. This happens, when a classical ifup based
network setup is used at least.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set reconnect delay to 30 secs, retries to unlimited, limit yourself to a
single identity, and connect to irc.freenode.net:6667
2. forcefully disconnect your router
3. watch the server log in konversation
Actual Results:  
A dialog appears, saying that the nickname is in use already, and the reconnect
is canceled.

Expected Results:  
Unless reconnect retries are exhausted, reconnect attempts should be made

Due to the _quick_ reconnect or due to a protocol problem, the nickname is
still marked as used on the server and the dialog "No nicknames were accepted
(irc/server.cpp:1209)" appears. The dialog times out and returns no new
nickname -> connection is disconnected in irc/inputfilter.cpp:1252.

Although unlimited reconnect attempts were chosen, the reconnect attempt stops
after the first try!
