first message not showing in Empathy chat window

[aaronpoweruser]

when using xmpp(gtalk) when a message comes in from a new contact(in contact list and not) the notification sound goes off and the user shows in the message bar but the message text does not, show for the first line they sent.

example using gmail.com

Someone: Hi

Someone: How are you?

Me: Fine

Example using Empathy:

Someone: How are you?

Me: Fine

Thanks for your bug report and helping to make Ubuntu better. What version of empathy are you using? 'empathy --version' in terminal. Do the messages come in at the same time where as the first may show but be overlapped with the second message, or are they far enough apart that the first message is not shown.

3.6.0.3 under 5 seconds of each other normally, but even if it is hours the first message never appears in the gnome message bar, however if i open the thread in empathy the message is there

There was a bug in telepathy-indicator which was fixed in version 0.3.0-0ubuntu3 which is in quantal-proposed. Would you be able to enable that repository and see if installing that fixes your issue. You will need to restart your desktop session for the changes to take effect I believe.

i'm also affected, same symptoms

telepathy-indicator 0.3.0-0ubuntu3 is in Quantal main at this point. However it does not fix the above issue.

For reference I'm not using Unity (rather GNOME Shell) with Ubuntu GNOME Remix.

I have the same issue.
I've been using Gnome classic and Cinnamon and the issue appears on both.
I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.

my empathy version is 3.8.4. I am also having this problem. Indicator (notification message) shows the message but if i click on message notification and open the chat window then first message does not show, and chat window status is always "unread".

Go to previous conversion window, Every messages are visible there.

I'm also affected by this bug, also when I open the message window, there is last message from previous session, but not the new message that should be there. I can see this message in chat log, but not in the window.

This issue is not only sometimes, it is always when using XMPP (jabber), and since I'm using jabber for everything, it is really anoying.

Empathy 3.8.4
linux 3.11.0-15-generic x86_64
Ubuntu 13.10 with latest updates installed

I don't have this problem with pidgin, only empathy, please let me know what information would help you with solving this, any logs?
