My own chat messages build up in the messaging menu and can't be cleared

[Christopher Kyle Horton]

Just tonight, while chatting with two people in Empathy I noticed that notifications for my own chat messages were building up in the messaging menu and could not be cleared. Clicking Clear at the bottom of the menu makes the envelope icon return to white, but all the entries shown are still present and will not go away, even when clicking them. See attached screenshot.
