ZNC 1.4

When a disconnect occurs ZNC is dumping all channel keys. I then have to go and put the keys back in and then disconnect and reconnect my user from irc by uncheck/save then check/save "Connect to IRC & automatically re-connect" option.

This issue is really annoying and frustrating. Any thoughts on why this is occurring?

Sounds like #674

Sorta, except it sounds like his is just failing to rejoin those channels. My keys are actually getting completely dumped from my ZNC channel settings which is causing a bad key message until I re-add the keys to my ZNC setting and then disconnect/reconnect.

I think this is duplicate of that #674. See also #705 that attempts to fix it and hints that the keys don't even get written.

Again, I just read through issue #674 and from what he has indicated, his issue is only that znc fails to rejoin the channels despit the keys being present in the settings.

My issue differs as my keys are actually getting dumped/erased/removed from the channels settings.

Regarding both issues: The issue (atleast for me) only occurs when my IRC service (Espernet) disconnects abruptly or there's a quick connection interruption between the znc server and the IRC server and it sounds like it could be the same for him.

My suggestion to try and reproduce this is; if you have a physical server next to you running znc, pull the Ethernet cord real quick and plugin it back in. That should simulate the sudden disconnect from the irc server and show the issue.

@supawiz6991 this is fixed with ZNC 1.6.0 and the current version is 1.6.1. Does this still affect you?
