Description Saurabh Asthana 2007-03-13 23:25:57 UTC
Version:           0.12.4 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If I am using a tabbed window (as I prefer), and i have multiple tabs open, i have no way of telling if an inactive tab has delivered a message. It does not indicate typing, it does not flag the tab when unread messages are received, and it does not flash the inactive window/taskbar when it gets a new message. This is bad - it makes it hard to follow multiple conversations. It should color the tab to indicate typing/typed status and flash the window even for inactive tabs.

Also, the chat window is always titled after the active tab - maybe this makes sense, but it's still a bit confusing. Maybe something more indicative, like "Kopete (2 open chats)" would be in order?

Addendum - I was wrong about flashing the taskbar, it does that - everything else still holds.
Comment 2 Philip Rodrigues 2007-03-14 00:09:48 UTC
Works for me. "Typing" status is indicated by green text in the tab, "message received" is indicated by red text
Comment 3 Saurabh Asthana 2007-03-14 20:53:25 UTC
On further inspection this appears to be a bug in the style I was
using (Domino) - works fine with Lipstik. I guess i'll yell at them.
However, the secondary bug - that chat windows with multiple tabs only
show the active tab in the titlebar - still stands, though maybe
that's not important.

Turning this into a wish and adjusting summary due to your second remark about the Chat dialog title.

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
