I start from a fresh boot and launch empathy from the gnome-shell

Using the contact list I double click on a user I want to chat to.

This does not open a conversation

I search for a user in the shell and start gnome-contacts with that user highlighted, I can then launch a conversation with that user.

This opens a conversation with that user.

I then go back to the contact list (empathy) and double click on another user, this then loads as a new tab in the open conversation.

Looks like a Butterfly issue; will be resolved when switching to Haze.
