On accidental drag contacts dissapear from contact list

[Alonzo]

Binary package hint: empathy

In Empathy
With available contacts selected if I drag a name (inside the empathy window) and then let go, the contact will be removed from the contacts list permanently. I accidentally grabbed a contact (left mouse click and holding) and moved a millimeter before I saw that I was dragging a contact and released, the contact simply disappeared from the list. You need to manually add the contact again in your list (if you still can remember their emails.... otherwise you are nicely done....). Since then I removed Empathy .....

Thanks

i have been facing exactly the same problem. i added a friends cousin to my contact list and unfortunately draged him and left and he got removed. i thought he got removed from my contact list but actually he did not so i opened gmail.com and removed him permanently from my contact but now still even after removing him from my contact list he still keep on bugging me and dont seem to find a way to ignore him

faced this on fedora and ubuntu but this is fixed in lucid for me.
@Alonzo can you plz check version 2.29.4 and confirm if its fixed or not

Hi

In Ubuntu 9.10 after installing all the available updates on the main server, the Empathy version is 2.28.1.1, so it's useless if version 2.29.4 is bugles if it doesn't get in the update list.
I do not have the time or skill to take the 2.29.4 version from the repo manually and install on Ubuntu.

Best regards
Alonzo
