Comment 3 for bug 1261890

Please use debug_slave.py to find the raw value in the model... eg:

bzr branch lp:friends
cd friends
./tools/debug_slave.py

it will spit out a bunch of messages like this:

protocol : facebook
account_id : 2
message_id : 5826871351...
stream : reply_to/5152326

Search through the output for the problematic message, and let me know if it all apears on one line there or not. If it has newlines, then the bug is in friends-app message display; if it doesn't then the bug is in friends message retrieval.
