Display problems when changing channels

I have occasionally experienced the following: when I switch from one channel to another and write a post in B, the sender is listed as A. A similar thing happens when I switch from viewing a channel to viewing HQ or vice versa. Then I see the stream from A even though I am in B. Does anyone else experience this?

Yes, I know this problem too. It has only existed for a few versions (or I only noticed it a short time ago?). Somehow, Hubzilla seems to switch from a different selected channel to the default channel every now and then as soon as you change the app or view (to stream, to the channel, to the HQ... it doesn't matter). This often makes it impossible to switch to the files to upload content after changing the channel, for example.

However, I noticed that this only happens when changing the channel via the (optional) channel selection from the main menu. If you open the Knal app from there and change the channel in the channel list that appears, the effect does not occur.

I thought it might be my browser... something to do with the cache or something like that... but now I read that it happens to others too... so it seems to have a different reason.

I've seen this issue too.

Also, while you are in there, it would be nice if you can change channels when viewing someone else's channel, instead of just "take me home." That creates an unnecessary extra step when you want to change channels.
