[Hywan]

Description

• Alice changes the room name to Coucou
• Bob receives an invitation
• Bob checks the invite room name, it's Alice
• Bob accepts the invite: the room name is renamed to Coucou

This bug was already present in the sliding sync proxy, and continues to be present now with Synapse + sliding sync. The sliding sync proxy was probably forwarding events from Synapse, which might explain this situation.

The invite event doesn't contain the new name, which is normal. Either the room must be created with the correct name directly, or Bob has to wait for the new name to come. Closing.
