Description Ondřej Kučera 2016-03-05 16:24:44 UTC 
A few months ago, I was contacted by an obviously spam account (doofy7ih1@swissjabber.org). When I deny the request, not only that the contact list application crashes, the request isn't really denied (even though the icon disappears from System Tray). When going offline and back online again, I once again receive the request.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive a contact request from a new contact.
2. Right-click on the icon in the System Tray.
3. Click on "Request from <contact_id>" and then in the sub-menu on "Deny".

Actual Results:  
1. The icon in the System Tray disappears.
2. I am notified that I denied the request.
3. The contact list application crashes:
Mar 05 09:35:24 lexie systemd-coredump[1719]: Process 1566 (ktp-contactlist) of user 1000 dumped core.
4. The request isn't really denied. Upon next connection, the request appears again.

Expected Results:  
1. The request is denied.
2. The contact list application doesn't crash.

Just bumping this issue.
My contact list does not crash (or at least not every time) but those reappearing spam requests are super annoying.

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

I don't use telepathy any longer, so I don't really care about a bug that hasn't been touched in six years.
