GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 673210
lists duplicate user name in password-protected IRC channels
Last modified: 2012-04-15 19:03:07 UTC
From the Debian BTS: When joining an IRC channel that is protected with a key in Empathy, the own user name is listed twice in the user list after join. This is a result of the own name being placed in the channel list before the key is entered and the real list is retrieved. The channel list should only be fetched from the server and nor pre-filled with the own user name before join. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666131
Which version are you using? It works fine here using 3.4.
The user is using 3.2.2 with tp-idle 0.1.11
The channel contact list model has been rewritten in 3.4 so that's probably fixed.
