            Bug ID: 361108
           Summary: Konversation incorrectly caching channel topic
           Product: konversation
           Version: 1.6
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konversation-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: greg.mason at canonical.com

Konversation incorrectly loads an old version of the channel topic when trying
to update the channel's topic. For example, if I set the topic to "zomg asdf
abc123" and somebody else changes it to "zomg 1234 abc123", Konversation will
show their new topic, but when I try to edit the topic again, it will populate
the field with the last topic I set, rather than the current topic of the
channel.

This is disruptive to say the least, as it can sometimes lead to important
information being dropped from a channel's topic that has been added since I
last changed the topic.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the topic in a channel.
2. Have somebody else change that topic.
3. Try to update the topic that person set.

Actual Results:  
Dialog window shows the last topic I set

Expected Results:  
dialog window should show the current topic of the channel.

It also appears that Konversation will sometimes erroneously set the topic of a
channel upon startup when reconnecting to my bouncer. It's possible that
Konversation cannot cope with having a ton of channels thrown at it all at
once. I think this is probably related, since it seems that Konversation has an
issue with loading and caching the correct topic.
