kopete doesn't realise it's been disconnected and therefore won't reconnect

[Robert Persson]

Binary package hint: kopete

Kopete doesn't realise it has been disconnected, at least when connected to XMPP servers, and therefore doesn't automatically reconnect. Therefore it always has to be manually disconnected and reconnected after, say, every sleep-wake cycle.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure Kopete to connect to XMPP servers. Mine is connected to Facebook chat and Google Chat.
2. Set Kopete running. Check that some contacts show up as being online.
3. Put your machine to sleep and wake it up again.
4. Look at your contacts. They are all marked offline.
5. Change status to online. This will not work.
4. Change status to offline and then to online. Now your contacts will appear to come online again.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. But don't worry! This issue is being tracked by the KDE developers at: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253184
Once fixed in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the fix is in in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!
