Using the packages from PPA (ppa:telepathy/ppa), this problem still exists.
Empathy version: 3.3.3 This bug can easily be replicated if the user has merged two contacts (e.g. the same person on Facebook and Google Talk). The different, merged accounts are shown in the pop-up menu for the merged contact. In this submenu just select "Chat"; once for each contact. There should now be two different windows/tabs open. The expected behaviour however, is that -- since it is essentially the same person/merged contact -- once the first window is open, selecting "Chat" for another account of the same merged contact just raises this window, instead of opening a new one. If the person (or his/her client) on the other side decides to switch protocols, the same thing happens. Except this time it is triggered remotely by starting a conversation on a different account (the other person may or may not be aware of this). The suggested behaviour would also imply that the chat logs of the different accounts are somehow linked. This way the most recent conversation of the merged contact would be displayed, and not the most recent conversation of the account. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/800277 Title: empathy opens another window if a merged contacts chooses another protocol To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/800277/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
