Yes… I understand that it works this way. I was describing the behavior from the user’s perspective (i.e., mine!). The question is: is it intended to work this way?
If no, then it’s a bug.
If yes, then my comment stands in any case, because what I am saying is, it shouldn’t work this way (IMO, of course)!
(edit: accidentally replied without noticing habryka’s reply, whoops)
Definitely agreed that it shouldn’t work this way – the fact that we left it in that state was just a matter of “getting it to work smoothly would have been a nontrivial chunk of work.”
There’s a related issue that if you send someone a message, and you already have an untitled conversation, it shouldn’t generate a new conversation, it should just use the existing one.
We hadn’t actually planned to prioritize the Private Message system that much, and probably won’t get to either of these in the immediate future, but I do think they’re fairly obvious things to improve and if anyone is interested in creating a Pull Request to fix them I’d be happy to chat with them about how to do so.
*nods* I basically agree that it isn’t super intuitive, and a conversation probably shouldn’t be created, or at least not displayed, until someone sends the first message. Seems easy to fix, so I will add it to the issue list.
