Back button on Chat forgets if it's a starred chat

Contribute Bug
1

This is a bug which annoys me every day, I hope it can be fixed.

So we can star favourite chat channels now, and I’ve done that with a few channels and individuals I’m DMing.

  1. No way to keep “Starred” as default tab that opens when you open chat.
  2. When you click “Back” after having closed the chat window, it always goes back to either Channels or DMs, even if the chat you were in was a starred one. It should go back to Starred.

It just means clicking “Starred” is always an extra step you need to do, which kind of defeats the point of it being a time saver.

@Shauny just confirming this is all about the “floating chat” window, none of this happens full screen.

I feel like the fundamental issue here @lindsey is that we are allowing chat in floating mode to even be involved with web page history. I think that if it is in floating mode it should get out of the way … we can remember “where it last was” when opening, but the URL switching we do in floating mode causes a lot of confusion.

Yes that’s correct! Floating mode.
