Room dropdown changes back to [matrix]

[ligi]

when entering a custom server in the room dropdown - it get's changed back to [matrix] - which is very confusing:

I first thought it is not working - but it actually is. Just the content in the dropdown is wrong. Ideally the rooms would persist in this dropdown. Perhaps even contain all servers where I joined a room once.

Perhaps even contain all servers where I joined a room once.

This is not how matrix works, rooms aren't on servers, servers share rooms, so lets say in Matrix HQ there are 443 different servers, you can join the room using any of them: https://view.matrix.org/room/!QtykxKocfZaZOUrTwp:matrix.org/servers

So having the dropdown show all servers you've encountered would result in a very very very long list

The size of the dropdown would be smaller than the size of rooms you joined. I still think this is a bug.

This would be solved by #5194 being fixed, but I think it's best if we leave this one open to track all the small bugs with the directory.
