Version: 0.12.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2) OS: Linux When a Jabber user uses Kopete they send messages having additional new line at the beginning and at the end of the message - it is so because it sends html - here is XML output when sending a message: <body>MESSAGE_TEXT</body> <html xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/xhtml-im'> <body xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'> <p style=''>MESSAGE_TEXT<br/> </p> </body> </html> <active xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/chatstates'/> <x xmlns='jabber:x:event'> <offline/> <composing/> <delivered/> <displayed/> </x> </message> I think the problem is produced by these lines: <html xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/xhtml-im'> <body xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'> <p style=''>MESSAGE_TEXT<br/> </p> </body> </html> Message is sent within new paragraph (<p>) and has inside a </br> entry. It is really very annoying, especially when You use Gajim or Pidgin to communicate with Kopete user.
Created attachment 22871 [details] How it looks in Gajim In this picture one can see how these additional lines produced by Kopete looks in Gajim.
Confirmed when receiving Jabber messages from Kopete 3.5.7 (two machines tested, both on Gentoo) to Windows Psi 0.11. Bug also noted by Adium developers: http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/3050 Workaround: follefuder on #kopete reports that using OTR for encryption (and possibly also GPG) removes the extra newlines (understandable if this encryption forces output to be text rather than html).
Confirmed when receiving Jabber messages from Kopete 0.12.7 (KDE 3.5.9) on openSUSE 10.3 to Pidgin 2.4.1 on Ubuntu 8.04. It is logged as below on Pidgin: (19:31:28) DarkRaven: What client are you using? It has a bug. (19:32:02) DarkRaven: There is an extra new line after every sentence.- - Don't say you typed that.- - (19:33:10) oldherl: I'm using Kopete (19:33:26) oldherl: How does it look like?
I'm having a two-way problem: If a message is sent from Kopete -> Pidgin / Adium / Yahoo Messenger (official), there's an extra newline after every message If someone on Pidgin (I've not confirmed with other clients) sends me a multi-line message, Kopete shows it all on a single line.
Please update to newer version as we don't have manpower to support Kopete in KDE 3. If you still see this bug in new version please reopen this bug report.
