Description Justin Lawrence 2009-03-24 09:28:05 UTC
Version:           0.70.0 (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-11-generic

Often, I close my conversation window after a conversation has ended and am distracted from working by the kopete tray animation which is indicating that a message is waiting for me. I click on this animation and the previous conversation window opens with just this text:

yyy has ended his/her participation in the chat session.

I really think that we should only write that message if the conversation window is still open. 

What do you guys think?

we can add an option for that.

Will be good to the the option for tune this Notification. At now in "Configure notifications" I didn't see separate option for tune this type of notifications.
Comment 3 Justin Lawrence 2009-08-28 10:25:09 UTC
I really believe that this is not wishlist related and should be fixed. There is simply no logical reason to have this alert distract users once they've already left a conversation.

Unless someone can provide a reason for this, it's a bug.

Personally, it is a huge distraction to me as I liaise with many people during the day as well as attempt to write code. To acknowledge this distraction means I have to either leave the keyboard, click my mouse twice or press 5 keys (2 combinations: ctrl-shift-i and then ctrl-w) each time.

I see that other people struggle with this as well:
