Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
I was notified that my friend was online and I went to talk to him, but then he asked how did I know that he was online, because his status was set on "hidden". I checked my empathy contact list and contact was "green" with status "Available". I then opened gmail and really he was offline to me there just as it's supposed to be.
I looked for other occurrences of this bug but only found this thread -> http://

Thanks for taking time to report this bug. Empathy is just picking up the status that your friend has If he is hidden then he certainly is hidden. Empathy cant show him online if his client has set it to hidden. furthermore you could logout empathy and login again and see if that shows him offline.
