Description Unknown 2006-01-19 19:21:02 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

the smiley display is not working consistant, e.g. if there are smileys in the away message or display name, they are shown in the main window but not in the chat window, the popups. smileys are also not displayed in the bubble notifications.
Furthermore, the smileys are not displayed correctly when lacking a space:
This is funny;) does not work
This is funny ;-) does

but as other messenger even work with the first, it would be nice to have it working.

Ciao

There is an option to enable smeley with spaces or not
(it's in the emoticon tab of the appareance config)

Comment 2 Unknown 2006-03-11 13:59:45 UTC

this solves only the problem with lacking spaces. Still, the smileys are not displayed in a consistant way:
  * smileys in user list
  * smileys in user info pop up if the smiley is in the name
  * no smileys in user info pop up for away messages
  * no smileys in user name in chat window
  * not sure about user state change pop ups

when I tried to fix this, I was told it was a 'feature', iirc. they
didn't want smileys in usernames in chatwindows, even though the
usernames in the contactlist have them.
the removal of smileys in chatwindow usernames can make things even
more inconsistent sometimes, 'cause it's not perfect, especially when
a user changes their name.

it is only a feature if the user can control the behavior.

Comment 6 Ruud Koolen 2008-07-07 15:48:01 UTC

This bug (if it is considered one) is still present in kde4 (Kopete 0.50.80).

Comment 7 Matt Rogers 2008-07-10 05:59:21 UTC

yeah, we need to be consistent everywhere, IMHO

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Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.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.
