For reference, here's the original request in GNOME's Bugzilla to *always* show Favorites:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592595 I dislike this behavior too, but it kinda makes sense I guess, since if you don't want to see offline Favorites you could always just create a group of your own called "Starred" or something. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #592595 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592595 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772169 Title: Favorite contacts always appear even when offline Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Invalid Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy In a freshly upgraded Natty, the favorite contacts always appear in the list, even if they are offline. In Maverick, they were hidden when offline, just like the other contacts. I don't see why they are always displayed, maybe it's useful in some cases, but on our Jabber network, it's not. The expected behavior would be : -to hide them also -or to give the option to make them always visible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/772169/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
