DM in spaces are shown in Home even if "Show all rooms" is unchecked

[mirandablue]

Steps to reproduce

1. Uncheck Sidebar > Home > Show all rooms in menu
2. Create a space (if you don't have one already)
3. Create a DM with someone (if you don't have one already)
4. Go the the space, go to Add > Add an existing room, and add the DM
5. Go back to Home

Outcome

What did you expect?

The DM should not be shown, since it's in a space and my home is configured not to show rooms in spaces.

What happened instead?

The DM is shown in Home

Workaround

A workaround is to /converttoroom the DM.

Application version

The very first thing every user sees after logging in misbehaves on a fundamental level, that's hardly an "Occasional" problem.

This is as per design where Home (with all rooms off) is defined as DMs and Orphan rooms

The very first thing every user sees after logging in misbehaves on a fundamental level

misbehaves is an interesting word to use given it is as working as it was designed, and most users do not manually add DMs to spaces given that is only possible in Private spaces and not every user even uses spaces...

that's hardly an "Occasional" problem.

DMs in spaces are typically created by bridges to other messenging services. I do find it practical to have all those DMs sorted out on spaces and to only have Matrix DMs and rooms out of spaces in Home instead of having dozens of DMs from various services randomly mixed there, it makes Home confused and borderline unusable to me. But that's just my perception, maybe indeed nobody else cares about that, I just reported this issue because it was my understanding that the software did not behave as documented.
