Description Florent Bruneau 2006-05-01 19:30:10 UTC 
Version:           0.19 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.1 
OS:                Linux

When I write a message, there is a delay between the end of message edition and network transmission. This delay is at least 2 seconds, and sometimes it reaches more than 20 seconds.

This is very annoying when in intense conversations...

I have this delay for all messages even if there is no problem of flooding (I checked with tcpdump to be sure it was not a problem from the server).
Comment 1 Florent Bruneau 2006-05-01 21:27:01 UTC 
It seems that it is a consequence of the exponential growth of the 'timerInterval'. I made the following patch. The problem of this patch is that it may remove the flooding protection.

I fix it a bit differently in svn trunk, will be in 0.20. Please reopen if you still can reproduce it. Thanks for you report
