First reported over 2 years ago? I can confirm this still occurs in Ubuntu 14.04 32bit as of May 29th 2014. The only work around is to close the window and re-open the conversation. This is a big problem. Should this be reported to the Gnome developers? I've used empathy in Gnome and other distros without this issue.

The message is actually received correctly, since when I close the window and open it again (by starting a new chat with the sender), the text of the message appears in the recent log (I mean, in the chat window I've just opened). This problem seems to happend with every account I have configured. Protocols used are: msn, gtalk, facebook chat, yahoo, icq. I mostly chat using the first two accounts.
