[Expired for empathy (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Jérôme Poulin (jeromepoulin)]

Just happened on 3.12.7.

[lemonade (lemonade)]

Happened on 3.12.8 as well.

[Andrew Silvers (airbus)]

Happens regularly on 3.12.9 now. Ubuntu 15.04 amd64.

[Jérôme Poulin (jeromepoulin)]

Regulary happens now on Xenial.

[Steve Williams (steve-fi)]

On Xenial, it happens to me every time I close the chat window (not the contact window).
