Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
This is on up-to-date Lucid installed from alpha 3.
This bug has just happened once in several days of using empathy. See the attached screenshot. On the left is the conversation window as it was displayed during the conversation, and on the right is the "Previous conversations" log, displaying the same part of the conversation. The conversation window is wrong, the log is correct.
In short:
- A line sent by one speaker (yellow) at 1:01 was not displayed
- The line sent at 1:02 by the yellow speaker was assigned to the green speaker (!!)
- The line sent at 1:03 by the yellow speaker disappeared too
Note that all lines were correctly received, since they are in the log. Could it be a problem with the Ubuntu chat theme? I don't know to what degree a theme could scramble conversations, though.
This was with the MSN protocol, by the way.
There is little I can do to test any fixes, since the bug has happened only once without anything sensibly identifiable as a trigger. But hopefully someone familiar with the code might know where to look and find the problem.
