Description h.k.ghost 2015-05-11 05:23:05 UTC

When the IM Contacts UI is invoked from the shell (e.g. ktp-contactlist) or the K System Menu, the UI showing the contacts will be displayed normally.

However, when using system tray icon, there're several problems:

Problem #1:
Left click on the sys tray icon shows the Instant Messenger widget popup (the one with the pin option), and clicking it *should* display the contact list UI. (This was true last week prior to one of the more recent updates, though not sure which one.) Instead, left clicking again on the pop-up widget does not show the contact list UI.

Problem #2:
Right clicking on the system tray icon shows options including status (e.g. Available, Offline, etc). Selecting the "Contact List..." option from the menu again fails to show the Contact List UI.

Problem #3:
The same description from problem #2 applies if you choose "Instant Messaging Settings..." immediately above the "Contact List..." option.

Using version 15.04.0 in Kubuntu Linux 64-bit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure you have the Instant Messaging icon in the system tray, and either
2. R-click and select "Contact List..." or "Instant Messaging Settings..." options, or
3. L-click for the pop-up widget to show up and then L-click on the widget again

(Your choice, same outcome.)

Actual Results:
The UI Windows that should be displayed are not displayed.

Expected Results:
The Contact List UI (or IM Settings UI, depending on choice) should be displayed.

It doesn't seem to be a crash as I can get the IM Contacts UI to show up if I look it up in the system's K Menu or launch it from the shell. Also, I can change my status using the icon without problems (e.g. set myself to offline, online, etc.) from the same sys tray icon.

It behaves as if no action handler had been set for the events being triggered.

If I use GDB to launch ktp-contactlist, I get the output below. Note that the UI shows up and I then close it by pressing the X in the window frame. As soon as I press that to close the UI, the line "*** Error in `/usr/bin/ktp-contactlist': corrupted double-linked list: 0x0000000000ab2e60 ***" is displayed.

kde-telepathy-legacy-presence-applet package, then log out and back in. Additionally, read http://martys.typepad.com/blog/2015/03/plasma-5-with-kde-telepathy-09.html

I see. I didn't see that bug report when I was searching prior to posting this one --maybe due to the terms I used :/

Your solution has solved the problem. Thanks a lot.
