Version: 0.8.0 (using KDE 3.1.3) Installed from: Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker Compiler: gcc version 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-21mdk I've noticed a strange error when running kopete... A friend of mine changed his "visible" nickname (the string that all MSN users see as the contact name) in his Windows MSN Messenger 4.7 to lost of blank characters created by pressing ALT + (numeric keypad) 0160 a lot of times. After changing his nickname, I lost the connection to the MSN server. Every time I launch kopete, it logs into the MSN network, and then the connection to the MSN server dies another time. If he changes his nickname another time to something different to "lots of ALT+0160", then kopete starts and does not hang. Any idea? PS: Is not a full application crash, as my jabber connection still works after the "error dialog".
The problem is that the kopete msn plugin escape some char while it is not needed, making this nickname longer, and this might cause disconneciton when sending back them to the server. I'm not 100% sure it's this problem (only 92% :-D ) to confirm, a debug ouput would be nice. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73901 ***
