Description ash 2010-12-17 17:34:12 UTC
Version:           SVN (using KDE 4.5.80) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to ban a spamming buddy, Right click on buddy in contact list --> buddy@hotmail.com --> block user does nothing. When going to the menu again the option still is unchecked, and the buddy is still spamming

After few restarts of kopete, it will appear blocked when my account is offline (connecting) and then appear unblocked when my account connects

After few more restarts of kopete, it seems to finally apply and hold



This behaves somewhat randomly - to me it took like 3 restarts to get it block only when offline, and then 1 more restart to get it block all the time

Tested this time with Kopete 4.0.80 on KDE 4.6 beta 1. Happened in the past with the Kopete that came with stable KDE 4.4 and 4.5 too

Tested when blocking WLM (MSN) contact. Did not test with other protocol

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Block a WLM (MSN) buddy from your contact list

Go to the menu again and see if the contact is blocked. If not, call him by 
means other than kopete (e.g phone) and ask to send you something, see if you receive it

Restart kopete (close it completely, start again, connect) as needed untill contact becomes really blocked

Actual Results:  
Blocked after several restarts

Expected Results:  
Blocked instantly upon clicking "block contact"

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Hi there, sorry for the bad news, but WLM has been discontinued by Microsoft, so this bug will be closed.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
