Rafał, a belated thanks for your suggestion.
It's not the job of the sound menu to do everything that a music player
does; it just provides quick access to the most common/urgent functions.
It's not the job of the network menu to do everything that the "Network"
screen in System Settings does; it just provides quick access to the
most common/urgent functions.
Similarly, it's not the job of the messaging menu to do everything that
messaging clients do; it just provides quick access to the most
common/urgent messaging functions. And seeing that someone is typing
something to you is not one of those. That is relevant mainly when you
are deciding whether to type something more to the other person, in
which case you have the chat window open anyway.
Even if we tried to implement it, that the information is provided for
some protocols and not others would leave many people wondering why it
worked only some of the time.
For those reasons, we won't be adding this function to the messaging
menu.
** No longer affects: indicator-messages
** Changed in: indicator-messages (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix
