Description Toni Helenius 2008-09-11 08:54:26 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When a chat window has been open for a long time and then sending a message causes Kopete to try send the messages for a while. But it always fails. Telling that the connection is lost. It works again if the chat window is closed and opened again from the contacts window.

TO REPRODUCE:
Start a chat with somebody, and leave it there, say for 1 hour, and try to continue the chat again.

which protocol are you using?

Comment 2 Toni Helenius 2008-11-18 08:33:49 UTC

Oh sorry, MSN protocol!

Pretty nasty bug...

Using Kopete Version 0.70.0 KDE 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1) "release 104" -
and bug is still there.

1) I receive message while being away from computer:
conversation opens automatically.

2) I notice new incoming message later:
After last received message in chat window I see a bunch of empty lines
(if conversations is open and is idle for some time 
empty lines are being added in certain time intervals)

3) I type long answer message and send it

4) Message disappears and the process of sending begins

5) After an hour I come back:
message is still in the process of sending and I see 
a lot more empty lines in the chat window.

Result:
1. My message has not been sent
2. I have lost the text of my message
   (Since it hasn't been sent, 
   I don't see it in chat window, nor in history)
3. I have to reopen conversation and recall, what was in that lost message.

And yes, of course MSN protocol.

Salem: perhaps you could take a look at this?

Comment 6 Roman Jarosz 2009-05-31 11:17:36 UTC

This is properly fixed in KDE 4.3 (KDE 4.3 beta2 will be the first version with this fix)
