Version: 0.12.7 (using KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: FreeBSD Ports OS: FreeBSD Kopete's history plug-in loads entire history into chat window even when 'show chat history in new chat' is disabled. Actually it also happens when the 'show chat history in new chat' is enabled and set to 7 messages. What happens is that during the course of sending and receiving messages, the entire history from the logs, not just today's but, i suspect, everything from the beginning of the log file for the month is loaded in. And while it's outputting the logs to the window, you are unable to type anything. Sometimes, it stops printing the history to screen after about 10+ (haven't found a pattern here yet) lines, in which case, you are able to start typing again, but the moment you start typing or just sent a message, the logs start printing out to the chat window again. Also, it happens regardless of whatever chat style theme is used, or whether contact fonts are overridden -- was trying to eliminate possible causes. And this only started happening to me when i shifted to PC-BSD 1.4.1.2 (using FreeBSD 6.3). Thanks for any help in advance! Loaded Plug-ins: ============== History - with the 'show chat history in new chat' dsabled Now Listening How to Reproduce: ============== 1 - open kopete and start a new chat with a contact (double click on contact's name) 1a, if 'show chat history' is disabled, you see a blank new chat window. no history is shown. 1b, if 'show chat history' is enabled, you see the x number of messages from the history file in the new chat window. 2 - send a message (or two) 3 - receive a message (or two) 4 - the entire message history is loaded in. (all at once or in batches) Expected Behavior: ============== You should only be able to see the x number of messages you specified in the plugin's options or none at all if you disabled that option.
i think i've found a pattern. still looking for a way to fix it though. i noticed that while typing in an open chat window whenever i press the backspace button (on the keyboard) that's when it prints out the chat log into the chat window. (which is probably why i was thinking that it waits for me to send/receive a few messages. i didn't notice earlier that it was the backspace triggering it. is there anyway to find out why? or any conf files i can tweak? looking over kopete's shortcuts, i dont have anything assigned to the backspace, so im not sure where else to look. hope this helps. thanks again!
I can confirm that the Backspace key triggers this behaviour. Currently I have to delete all logs (history) every week or so, or else I have to wait 2-3 minutes each time I press Backspace after I start a chat.
