Description meyerm 2010-08-07 18:31:29 UTC

Version:           1.0.0 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Whenever the OTR-plugin is loaded, all formatting is stripped from the messages before beeing displayed locally. Since I don't use colors etc. it mainly affects newlines and sometimes tags beeing sent manually (to show sth.). My newlines are correctly sent and displayed on the other end with pidgin. Only receiving doesn't work. It makes reading a message with newlines as formatting element quite hard.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Load OTR-plugin.
Send sth. with a newline in it.

Actual Results:  
Everything in one line.

Expected Results:  
Each line beeing displayed on its own.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34-gentoo-r1
Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc

I can comfirm this bug. It is extremely annoying. 

Please tell me how I can help debug or fix this.

I'm sorry for not beeing helpful for 4.4. But at least in KDE 4.5 it seems to be fixed.

Comment 3 Christian Iversen 2010-11-23 12:37:14 UTC

For people still using 4.4, you can use this trivial patch to fix the problem:

http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/4.4/kdenetwork/kopete/plugins/otr/otrplugin.cpp?r1=1117326&r2=1117354

Another solution seems to be more flexible:

(but I have not tried this)

There's a longer discussion here:
