When accepting an invite, expecting to see the room

[jaywink]

When I accept an invitation to a room, after the invite is processed I would expect to see the room. Instead it is hidden somewhere in my room list, forcing me to use search to find it, to find out if there are any messages there for me to react to.

It's done like that to be able to accept multiple invitations in a row. If you want to enter the room, first click on the invite item (not the button), and then accept the invitation in the next screen.

I agree with @jaywink
I understand the purpose to accept multiple invitations, but the most common use case is to accept only one invite. This behavior seems more frustrating than useful in the real life.

if there is a strong case for keeping the accept without entering room then there may be a best of both worlds approach where we display a snack bar to allow the user to enter the newly accepted room (similar to an undo or updated content flow)

The need to accept multiple invitations in a row predates spaces.
With spaces and the auto-join of restricted rooms, there is no more need to send a bunch of invites.

Maybe when the user accepts an invite from the room list: open the room directly, to see it during the invite / join transition, which can take time on some servers. The user will have the possibility to go back to the room list.

Also room can be joined from the invite notification, I'm not sure we open the room in this case.

In EA 1.4.2

Also room can be joined from the invite notification, I'm not sure we open the room in this case.

This use case may be handled later.
