myroomnick changes the Global name

[rajil]

Hello,

I changed the nick using /myroomnick in a room, and Element-Android changed my global nick. Element on the mobile is showing the roomnick while Element-Web is correctly showing the previous global nick.

Element version 1.0.0

Thanks

Cleared the cache, and the correct global name came back.

After putting in the room the global names has again changed to the room nick. Seems like a bug in element.

Can confirm, I see the same behavior. Switches back and forth somewhat at random. Also looking at places in a room where someone mentioned you with an @, the name that shows up in the pretty print is also frequently a roomnick from another room.

OK, we will implement a third solution for this issue

I'd love to see this too. It's frustrating to not be able to change my room-specific nickname from android.

This is not exactly the subject of this issue.

The plan is to use the SyncResponsePostTreatmentAggregator to store the room membership change and fetch the profile information when necessary to ensure that a display name or an avatar changed for only one room is not propagated to the user database, or eventually revert back with the up to date profile information

This should have been fixed in v1.4.12 (#5618). Please ping me if you find this is still the case
