Description René Krell 2016-12-06 10:38:03 UTC 
In log viewer, if I select a contact history and using the contect menu on the contact name, choosing Clear contact history I get the following:
- A warning message box appears: Are you sure.... ->Choose button Delete
- Only the contact disappears in the left upper part of the log viewer, but the messages (dates and contents) are still shown below.
- If restarting the log viewer also the contact name itself is available again, along with all the contact history.
At the end, nothing is deleted at all.

I f deleting, I'd expect the contact and its history disappera instantly from log viewer unless there is no new message in a chat from that contact.

Thank you for reporting this bug 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!

Sorry, I can't tell you any longer, haven't used Telepathy for a very long time and don't have an instance for testing it the next time.

You may close this if you want.

Dear user, unfortunately Telepathy is no longer maintained.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.
