This bug (and it really cannot be called a feature) is still present in 13.4 and makes Empathy rather useless (I see 9 contacts where Pidgin would show 17 in the same space).
Side note: This becomes even more urgent since the alternative Pidgin suffers from another Ubuntu change (dropping of the notification whitelist), which makes it impossible to show notifications on new messages properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071345 Title: empathy contacts list compact mode is missing in 3.6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/1071345/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
