Graphical bug in another repo's interface #21329

The problem

When you have multiple repositories on GitHub Desktop from different GitHub accounts and you log out and log back in to log in with another account, as soon as you do so, you still get the warning that you are not the owner of that repository and that you need to fork it (even though I literally updated the Git email).

Release version

3.5.4

Operating system

Windows 11

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Clone a GitHub repository with one account
  2. Log in to GitHub Desktop with another account (DIFFERENT from the one in the repo)
  3. Make changes to the file in that repository and return to GitHub Desktop
  4. You will get an error saying that the repository is not yours. Now connect with the account for that repository
  5. Go to the GitHub account icon and then Update Git Email.
  6. You will see that the fork warning still appears, requiring you to restart the application to make it disappear.
