GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 319713
Double-clicking on contact in group chat doesn't work
Last modified: 2006-06-21 18:48:33 UTC
If I double-click on a contact in the group chat user list then a new chat window is opened. However, it isn't a private chat with the person.
How so? When I do it, I start a conversation with a contact as if I had just started chatting to them from my roster. As far as I am aware it is not shared with anyone else.
If I double-click on the user "bar" in the group conference "foo", the JID of the contact is foo@conf.openedhand.com/bar, when it should be in this case bar@openedhand.com.
That sounds correct to me. The problem is, how do you know the contact's id is bar@openedhand.com? The user may not be on your roster and in such a case, you only know what the conference room is telling you about that contact (which is foo@conf.openedhand.com/bar). There might be a jabber call to find out the users ACTUAL JID, but I have not looked at group chat enough to know if it is possible.
Ah, if that JID form should work, there is still a bug: it doesn't for me.
Just out of interest do you know if the same scenario works with GAIM or another client? I am wondering if this is a gossip thing or server thing.
I have fixed this, it wasn't as quick and easy as I thought it would be, but it should work ok now.
If I start a private chat via a conference, then the messages are from the name of the group and not me, so replies go to the wrong place.
Moving to 0.11 milestone.
Fixed in CVS, thanks.
