@vaab Is it possible to place a pull request here on Lauchpad? Or could you prepare a .patch to fix this issue on the development branch, and attach it to this bug report?
That's scary! We're having late 2015, and this bug is still present in 14.10.3 LTS, even though a solution is know in detail. (Can anyone anyone confirm this problem is visible in 15.04 and 15.10 too?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071345 Title: empathy contacts list compact mode is missing in 3.6 Status in Empathy: Confirmed Status in empathy package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Prior to upgrading to quantal, Empathy had a compact mode for the contacts list. This would show each contact on a single line that was just tall enough to display the contact's username. This way, I would be able to use my high resolution monitor to view all of my online contacts simultaneously. Under Empathy 3.6 on quantal, the option for a compact mode disappeared and each contact in the list takes about 3 times the vertical space needed to display the contact's username. Now even with my high resolution montor, I can only view about 1/3 of my online contacts at a time. Please bring back the compact mode.
