Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pidgin
Pidgin reports some MSN/Live buddies as online as soon as the program starts while they are off-line. This is probably something to do with the mobile functions in MSN. as though the capability to send messages to a mobile device (which can be turned off) means they are online. Messages send to such buddies are not received, nor is an error generated when trying to do so, or is asked to get some credit to send to mobile. Also buddy-pounces on 'sign on' are triggered as soon as Pidgin starts. This is clearly a bug in Pidgin, as aMSN is reporting those contacts off-line (but with mobile) This with Pidgin 2.5.1 on Intrepid beta with current updates (as of 10-13-2008). It has been happening for some weeks now, so I guess it is something since alpha 6 or earlier. ** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Pidgin reports MSN contacts with mobile number always online https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
