I had an interesting experience with this bug yesterday and feel it is relevant to mention. A friend once tried to talk to me via Empathy, but I wasn't at the computer at the time and didn't return before he eventually went offline. I then turned off the computer in a rush without verifying the indicator-applet, effectively losing his message.
(the last part is at least what I think it happened, judging by the message timestamp) When I was using the computer again later, I got bitten by the bug: I clicked on the applet because of a new Gwibber entry and was fooled by an entry that was there just because this same friend had just logged in. So I clicked on the indicator. Now comes the funny part: because of Empathy logging, when I opened the conversation window from the indicator, the last message was his "hello" from BEFORE, and thus the fooling was complete. The friend promptly received a "hello" from me as a reply from a message he had sent hours before. :) I only understood what happened when I actually looked at the message timestamp. So, long story short: this bug and Empathy logging is a nasty combination. -- "No login notifications" should imply "no login indicators" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
