Chat windows gets unresponsive

[Mauricio Pretto]

Binary package hint: empathy

this is hard to summarise, but I will try
I run my empathy on my desktop space 4.
so the contacts windows is there and also the conversations windows .
let's say I'm in space 1 browsing (that's where my chromium stays ) and I get a chat message my little icon gets green
I click on it (still on space on 1) and select the incoming in this case (gtalk) message
The conversation window move to space one, but kinda freeze up , I mean kinda because the chat still active but I can't move the window, close, or even write on it
and looks like the unity side bar also freezes .
------
I notice that If I get a new message while in space 4 click on the green icon the window will get back to space four and the system seems to be back to normal ......
I hope this help some how, not sure this is a empathy bug or unity however

It actually looks like a notifier bug , not sure

[Jamu Kakar (jkakar)]

Is this perhaps a duplicate of bug #705672?

[Mauricio Pretto (pretto)]

I don't really think so, I think the one I described should be "easy" to duplicate anyway

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

me too ;) but the issue seems rather a unity one.

Does chatting work normally if you are already on the workspace? What if you receive the message on WS4 while WS1 is active, and then you manually change to WS4, does it happen then?

[Mauricio Pretto (pretto)]

If I'm in ws1 and the chat is on ws4, receive the message, manually switch to ws4 the windows don't "freeze"
If Im in the workspace where the chat window is there is no problem.
the problem happens as explained above.
I haven't checked this lately (after all the last updates), will test again and give some feedback
I don't agree with the incomplete status .....

[Mauricio Pretto (pretto)]

Okay
this seems to be fixed with all the last updates.
When I get a message (i'm only testing with gtalk) and click on the envelope or in the launcher icon
the window don't get freezed but jumps to the current workspace
is that the expected behaviour ?
I would expect to be switched to the workspace where the window is
