[gutsy] pidgin does not go automatically offline when network is down

[Vincenzo Ciancia]

Binary package hint: pidgin

I open pidgin, then go offline (e.g. disabling network from network-manager, or disconnecting cable) and pidgin stays online, also displaying my contacts as if they where still available. When reconnecting, it seems that I have to put pidgin offline first, and then online again, to resync contacts status.

Hi,
Thanks for your bug. I assume you are running the Pidgin provided by the Gutsy(7.10) repositories. Which protocols you are using?

[Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml)]

Yes, I am using gutsy and the pidgin package that came with the distribution. I am using various protocols: msn, yahoo, irc, jabber, icq and aim.

[Elliot Hughes (elliot-hughes)]

Thanks, I'll try and confirm that tonight.

[Elliot Hughes (elliot-hughes)]

Sorry for delay - I can confirm the bug as I experience it myself.

Will it get fixed at some point?

Pidgin still behaves this way.

[Vincenzo Ciancia (vincenzo-ml)]

I confirm that the bug is still there. Waleb: I think that talking to pidgin developers on IRC might be fruitful, if you wish to try.

the issue should be fixed in jaunty, reopen if you still get the issue though

As of yesterday, I still had the bug, is the fix on the way?
