Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
I'm a kubuntu + kopete user new to ubuntu + pidgin and see a simple
repeatable bug on intrepid 8.10 with pidgin 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1 (up to date
as of today). The bug is that any contacts you select to "show when
offline" are only shown after pidgin sees an online to offline
transition. I.e. If you start pidgin and such a contact is already
offline then he is not displayed. If that contact comes online then goes
offline then he will display correctly. Even in this last case, if you
restart pidgin then that contact is not displayed anymore.
This bug seems related to bug #278437 and bug #218902 but it simpler.
Also, possibly unrelated but I don't want to raise yet another bug,
there is a "show when offline" plugin available in my plugin list which
seems to duplicate the base functionality. When I enable it I get 2
"show when offline" items in my contact menu.
Kopete has a great feature to show the history + times of your contacts
status changes. I'm amazed that pidgin does not offer this functionality
(nor any of its plugins).
