Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

I was chatting with my wife. We hadnt posted any messages in a while, but the window was still open. It was the only empathy window open at the time. When out of the blue,

 - 17:02 -
 - Falice has joined the room

appeared. I have no clue what happened, but I didnt invite her to that chat, my wife doesnt know her and they re both NOT using beta software, so I guess this is an Empathy problem.
And a huge problem at that! (Or is it a feature to get my contacts to know eachother without me having to put effort into the whole social thing ;) )
