BUT, what also happens is that everything you just typed completely disappears, and you have to retype everything. I think this is a bug, and the text you just typed into the box should remain in the box after the failed sending, so you can at least copy and paste it in pieces, rather than having to retype. information shouldnt just disappear without a trace. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-09 21:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

It's infuriating when typing something long in a big conversation, then it goes away, and you have to remember what you just wrote (which, since it was a long message, isn't always easy). I was about to enter this as a bug when I found this existing bug already in the system. BTW, thanks deryni9 for the tip about ctrl-up - it helped me retrieve what I'd lost earlier (but had already pieced together). That's certainly not a feature most users know about however, and IMHO it doesn't eliminate the need for keeping text around that would otherwise go nowhere (even if it's non-trivial to implement). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Date: 2005-01-08 16:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=20979 That would be nice, but it would also be a lot of work. Currently we don't know the message is too long until we try to send it and the server tells us it's too long. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2005-01-07 22:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Mark, what do you think? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Etan Reisner (deryni9) Date: 2005-01-07 01:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=516184 I don't have an opinion about leaving the text there on this error or not, but you can always use ctrl-up to go back in your send history. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1097664&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
