this is what you have sent or what you get from other person?

this is what I sent.

We received a downstream report about this bug at https://launchpad.net/bugs/389222

Comment 5 Roman Jarosz 2009-07-27 17:30:52 UTC

Did it changed to black when you were using Kopete from KDE rc1 or later?
The "reset color & font" button in chat window should fix it

Comment 6 Daniel Hahler 2009-07-27 21:16:29 UTC

Yes, the "reset color & font" button fixed it for me (downstream report).

Comment 7 Matt Rogers 2009-09-06 05:30:54 UTC

KDE 4.3 is out now. Is this still a problem?

Comment 8 Roman Jarosz 2010-01-04 23:53:22 UTC

Didn't see this bug in a while so I'm closing this.
If you still see it with KDE 4.3, please reopen

Comment 9 Daniel Hahler 2010-01-25 20:08:53 UTC

I've not had this happen to me again, so closing as fixed seems appropriate.

However, something similar happened just now with the Microblogging widget in KDE 4.4RC2: Bug 224216

Comment 10 Daniel Hahler 2010-05-26 17:50:44 UTC

Re-opening.

This just happened to another user (reported in the Launchpad bug), using Kopete version 1.0.0, KDE version 4.4.2.

See https://launchpad.net/bugs/389222 - I am attaching his/her screenshot.

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.

Comment 13 Christoph Cullmann 2024-09-18 18:27:51 UTC

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.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.
