Description Taboom 2007-04-14 00:37:34 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Me and my gf have been using Kopete for quite some time on the same computer, but only now that she has her own computer we noticed this problem. When messaged to each other, sitting in the same room and using two computers, we noticed this.

She can send me a message, see it is sent but I never see it. It seems to happen after we have had a conversation and I close the window and she sends a new message (this is my feeling about this - haven't tested it too much). This is using Kopete 0.12.4 on KDE 3.5.6 (Kubuntu), the other client is Microsoft's newest Live messenger on Vista. The problem is that this does not always happen so it's really hard to debug - I really cannot know when it works or not with other ppl than ppl next to me, and that's not really when you use Kopete...

This is a _very_ serious bug as for the sender it seems as the message is successfully delivered!

Can you provide more information please? There may be some information printed on the console or in ~/.xsession-errors

Unfortunately no. This happened a long time ago when I just for fun messaged with to someone in the same room and happened to notice it was never delivered. I only wonder how often this has happened/happens without me noticing this - it's not that you would verify your messages get delivered via an other media, right?

If I notice it happening again, I'll check more carefully.

We've completely replaced the current MSN implementation with a new MSN implementation which  If you continue to experience this bug after testing the new implementation (which can be gotten from our subversion repository or with the KDE 4.2 Beta 1 release), PLEASE, open a new bug rather than reopening this bug. Thank you for your time and efforting in helping us find and fix problems in Kopete.
