Figured it out and eems to work ok now. Could you have it automatically grab our room list like the desktop client does?
If you log out and back in it will save the rooms you were in on your phone the previous time....I would guess that it doesn't grab the client's room list because it would potentially be really data heavy, and there are some rooms (like the EGR) that are ok on a computer screen, but might overwhelm a phone when they get busy....
It's like mef says. Chatting is harder on the phone so I thought people might not want to be in all the high-traffic rooms or something. When I get the notification of new chat on my phone, if I'm going to bother to swipe over, I'd rather it be a private message instead of another bit of blather from the English Game Room. So the server now keeps two lists of your joined rooms - one for "normal" clients, and one for phone clients.
So there you go. Join a few rooms on your phone. They'll be there when you log back in again.

Yes, I should have said my full thought which was grab the client's room list as a quick open option, so it's easier to find the ones you care about. There are hundreds of rooms but I'm unlikely to care about any I don't have open in my desktop client.

Make sense?
Yes, I see your point. It can be hard to find the rooms you care about, so maybe doing it "subtractively" instead of additively would have been better. But I'm afraid that at this point, I want to fix the bugs and move on, so it'll probably stay as is. :O

Thanks for adding chat! I have some difficulties choosing rooms from the room list, though. It doesn't scroll down when swiped (Galaxy Tab). Am I doing something wrong?

Chrad - I can't get this bug to show up. But one strange thing: I can see that you have a theme of some sort applied, your gui is all blueish. What theme is that? How did you apply it? I'm wondering if that is related.

I believe it's part of the Samsung Touchwiz UI, it's on most of Samsung's smartphones and the Galaxy Tab.
Mef is right, it's the standard UI. I changed the locale to English, but the problem remains. Could it be a Samsung issue? Which other phones had the same problem?

I can confirm the issue on both Motorola Droid 2 and Xoom. With the D2, I can use the slideout keyboard to navigate the roomlist, on the Xoom, I'd probably have to connect a bluetooth keyboard (good thing the rooms selected on the D2 carried over when I logged in with the Xoom client...)

I would guess those are both using Motoblur? I guess now we just need someone running HTC's Sense to check in....
Thanks for the feedback - I found and fixed the bug! It would only show up in Android 2.2 or later. There is now version 3.4.16 in the market, it fixes the problem. And it makes the font the right size for the list also.

No, actually, on both counts. The Xoom is stock Honeycomb (big selling point, for me), and the D2 is using a (mostly) blurless ROM.
