Comment 13 for bug 225505

I'm seeing the same problem. At work my net gets interrupted about every hour or two, I usually don't even notice it and pidgin buddy list isn't physically open so I don't see that I'm offline. Auto-reconnect either doesn't work or takes forever. I think having an option to make it instant (or to try every 5 seconds or so after a disconnect) would be nice. Right now it seems like it tries after several minutes, sometimes I've said a few things to someone and they didn't receive them because I was disconnected without knowing it. Empathy has the same problem
