Description Ondřej Kučera 2015-12-04 08:43:40 UTC

When I go offline, some of the contacts that were online at that moment disappear from the contact list (which makes sense because "Show Offline Contacts" is off) but others still remain shown as online, which is weird (esp. the part where some of them do disappear and some of them don't).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go online.
2. Check that "Show Offline Contacts" is off.
3. Go offline.

Actual Results:  
Some contacts remain shown with their last online status.

Expected Results:  
No contact should be seen at that moment.

Actually I find an even more serious issue right now, even with up to date arch linux packages.

Choosing the status in ktp-contactlist (online, away, not available, ...) works for all the statuses EXCEPT offline. When choosing offline, nothing happens and it stays CONNECTED. Only using the plasma applet I am able to effectively switch to offline.

This is a serious issue, because people might wrongly believe to be offline, while they are in fact online.

Sounds serious but it's a different issue. Can you
please open that as a new report?

Comment 4 Alexander Blinne 2019-02-21 19:55:40 UTC

Already did that, I guess it would not have hurt to mention this here. It is reported as issue 404350.

Dear user, unfortunately Telepathy is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
