Opening multi-column gwibber from the messaging menu removes all columns but Replies

[Stuart Langridge]

Binary package hint: gwibber

I have gwibber configured with multiple columns. If I open gwibber from the messaging menu by clicking on a specific reply, then gwibber opens with only the Replies column present; all my other columns have disappeared.

Please could you attach a screenshot of this issue (using latest release of gwibber included in Ubuntu Maverick)? Thanks.

I can confirm this issue personally and an marking this bug as Triaged, because I've opened an upstream task, and setting the importance to Medium since this affects a core applications that is a vital part of Ubuntu's differentness.

When you've received a reply, Gwibber will place an entry for that reply in the Messaging Menu. When you press the entry for a reply in the Messaging Menu, Gwibber should be made visible and show you that reply. However, the issue is that when you're using multiple streams in Gwibber, all streams will be removed when you press the reply.
The whole window will be one stream: Replies. Previously present other streams will be gone.

What is the last known good version ?

[Sense Egbert Hofstede (sense)]

I think it was the release before the behaviour of opening the replies tab when clicking on a name in the Messaging Menu was introduced, but I'm not sure what version number that was. It must have been during the Maverick development cycle.

This also happens when using Gwibber > Search. :(

This is fixed in trunk already, I will back port the fix for maverick.
