Version: 0.12.5 (using KDE 3.5.7, Debian Package 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-4 (lenny/sid)) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-1-686 When changing the nickname in a jabber multi user chat (via right-clicking the channel's entry in the list) a new entry in the list appears but the original one is still there. An example: I join a groupchat with the nick foo. I change my nick to bar, bar appears on the list and foo is still there but not functional. I change my nick to baz, bar gets renamed on the list to baz but foo is still there. I change back my nick from baz to foo, baz gets removed from the list and foo gets responsive again. Another issue is that nickname highlightling always works for the original nickname (foo in the example above)
I can confirm that using kopete 0.50.80 from KDE4.1RC1 Kubuntu packages. I also noticed a difference in the naming schema of the duplicate entries: The original was foo@conference.jabber.org, the renamed one was foo@conference.jabber.org/bar, asuming the original nick was foo, the new one bar.
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.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.
