The upstream, FB in this case is aware of this issue [1] and even has two bug reports about it [2][3].
[1] http://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat/ [2] http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=8769 [3] http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10308 Feel free to vote up those bugs by registering to FB's bug tracker and then clicking on the vote link, next to importance at the top of page. I linked the older (and with more votes) upstream bug to this report but I'm not sure if LP is actually able to track the bug status - at least it didn't show any error messages during the linking. I used Empathy as the project since FB doesn't have its own project on LP. ** Bug watch added: bugs.developers.facebook.net/ #8769 http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=8769 ** Also affects: empathy via http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=8769 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: bugs.developers.facebook.net/ #10308 http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10308 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/725800 Title: Empathy away doesn't equate to Facebook's idle -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
