Summary:	Kopete history falsely warns of unread message

Description Jeffrey 2011-02-14 17:22:45 UTC

Version:           1.0.80 (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

Using the [Alt][Arrow] key on a Jabber contact (OpenFire server) to page through previous chats/history, there are often popups about unread messages which aren't accurate:

"You have received a message from ****** in the last second. Are you sure you want to clear this chat?"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use [Alt][Left-arrow] to go back three or four pages in chat history, and then [Alt][Right-arrow] to go forward in chat history.  Usually I get the warning going either way, but always when going 'forward' in time.

Actual Results:  
Error message pops up:

"You have received a message from ****** in the last second. Are you sure you want to clear this chat?"

Expected Results:  
The error shouldn't pop up unless I really do have an unread message.

This is causing a 'Cry Wolf' situation which causes the user to dismiss that popup every time; when there is actually a new message it may be missed due to this bug, as the recipient may just dismiss the pop up (yet again).

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem
Compiler: cc

Thanks for Kopete and for KDE!

Hi, I no longer use Kopete and I cannot provide feedback at this time.


This bug is pretty old. If you're unable to reproduce it, please close the report.
