bug#32285: 26.1;

[Emacs Watcher]

Hello and thanks for your response.

By "clobbered", I mean that the original session (and all channels associated with it) stops updating. I also mean that host:port pairs seem to be the internal key for mapping session data structures, as seen below.

As  for my configuration, I can prove that it's not germane: 

Start emacs with no config.

n.b.: the exact usernames in the following snippets are not important, just that they are different.

----

$ emacs -Q

M-x erc RET

irc.freenode.net RET

6667 RET

testuser1 RET

----

So far, so good. We have a session.

----

M-x erc RET

irc.freenode.net RET

6667 RET 

testuser2 RET

----

You should notice that the 'freenode' buffer has been reused and that the original session cannot be reached. My guess is that this is an original ERC design limitation, but it probably ought to be addressed.

Hi,

Thank you for your message. My "clobbered" what precisely do you
mean?
Is the buffer broken, or is the process being hung? This is good
information for us to have.

Also, if you could share your configuration you have defined for
ERC
that would be quite helpful.

Best,
