Description Pablo 2012-01-30 22:50:32 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

With a @jabber.org account it usually gives me an error for 'too long message' when I write a couple of words, or many words.

I tried to do the same in kopete and it works fine, so the bug is of thelepathy I think :p

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Once you write a couple of comments it only knows give the error message.


Expected Results:  
Those message shouldn't appear and anyone must have a normal conversation :)

3.2.2-1-ARCH x86_64 stable.
Up to date all the packages.

If this does happen it's almost certainly an issue in the jabber backend.

Please make sure you have the latest version of telepathy-gabble.

If so please attach a log from gabble the jabber backend, as explained here:

A sure shot way of reproducing this is to start chats over 2 different XMPP networks for eg between jabber.org and gtalk.

Usually after talking for the first 30 seconds, you can see the error and then can only send 3-4 characters at a time and not full sentences.

Could be successfully reproduced on latest master. No errors could be seen in the gabble logs. David tells me there's a python script that reads the full XMPP stream which could help us debug this further.

Narrowed it down to this :
Jabber <-> Jabber : Works
GTalk <-> GTalk : Works
GTalk -> Jabber : Works
Jabber -> GTalk : Does not work

It seems like Google might be rejecting messages from other XMPP networks if they send them too quickly, would certainly be need to fixed at their end.

A couple of XMPP stanzas that clearly show the error, just for future reference purposes. I'm also trying to track this bug down and fix it ... might take a while though.
