Bug #1729
Setup Wizard: Network name does not persist when adding/removing servers
0%
Description
During the initial setup wizard, changes to the "Network name" field by the user do not persist. This forces the Network name to whatever the default is in networks.ini.
Steps to reproduce:- Install Quassel Monolithic
- Erase quassel-storage.sqlite, quasselcore.conf, settings.qss, etc, if they exist to trigger the Setup Wizard
- Start Quassel Monolithic
- Next through the Welcome and Setup Identity screens
- Change the "Network name" field from the default (either Freenode or Libera) to something else (I typically just put foo or test)
- Click Add, Edit or Delete. If clicking Edit, go in, make changes, and click Ok.
- Notice that the "Network name" field has reverted to its previous contents
The network name should not revert.
Tested on version 0.13.1 and on git HEAD on Fedora 34 as of 6/20/2021.

The described behavior in Quassel Monolithic's setup wizard, where changes to the "Network name" field do not persist, is a significant usability issue. It forces users to accept the default network name from networks.ini, hindering customization during the initial setup. This bug, observed in both version 0.13.1 and recent Git HEAD on Fedora 34, indicates a persistent problem with how the wizard handles network configuration input, specifically around the "Network name" field during actions like "Add," "Edit," or "Delete."
