Description Ioannis 2009-06-06 02:28:10 UTC

Version:           0.70.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When initiating a google talk conversation and the other end responds, kopete opens up a new window instead of using the already opened conversation window. It does so the same every time the other end re-logins.

It seems that Google Talk assigns different ID to each established conversation and this causes kopete to treat them separately. I've tried playing with the various 'grouping' options, but I couldn't find one that would prevent this from happening

This does not affect yahoo! or msn accounts.

This looks like a duplicate of Bug 194808, Bug 175078, Bug 111537 or Bug 142650: They address the changing of the resource name when the Google Talk server is used.

Comment 2 Ioannis 2009-06-06 14:02:47 UTC

great. So this bug exists for ages and is not addressed because it is perceived as being the 'correct' behaviour ?

Despite the fact that some of those original bug reports claim that it is 'fixed', that is not the case...

I can confirm that the behavior exists in Kopete 0.80.2 under KDE 4.3.2. But Matt Rogers says in #194808 that the fix is in KDE 4.4.

Comment 4 Andrew Young 2011-11-10 15:39:06 UTC

I can confirm that this issue is resolved in KDE 4.7.2.
