What does "reconnect on link failure" mean?
Question
"Reconnect on link failure" and "reconnect on disconnect", are those the same things? In any case, they seem to operate a bit oddly, as even a disconnect using QUIT will be followed by a reconnect.
Answer
They are the same. "Reconnect on link failure" is reworded in version 2.02 onwards. To stop reconnecting after a QUIT use the "quit" menu item (ie. type Shift+Ctrl+Q), rather than typing QUIT, so the program knows not to reconnect.
