GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 611472
no buddy icon or incorrect buddy icon for facebook
Last modified: 2018-05-22 14:04:39 UTC
From Ubuntu Lucid When a facebook contact becomes available, usually no buddy icon is displayed in the notification. Eventually an icon may be displayed after a long delay. Buddy icons should load from a cache for the notifications. When a facebook contact signs off, the wrong buddy icon may be shown, or it may show the correct icon initially, and then change to display the buddy icon of another contact. I think this is happening when multiple contacts sign off while the notification is still displayed. linux: Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) 64-bit empathy: 2.29.91-1ubuntu2 Launchpad ref: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/529229 Thanks!
My comment in Launchpad confirming the bug was the following. I have seen facebook contacts coming online, their notification displaying no picture (while it is being downloaded, I assume), and after a delay displaying the picture for a different contact. This is similar to the case described in the summary for contact logouts, but for contact logins instead. I assume this is the same bug.
The bug is basically that when there is something to notify about multiple contacts simultaneously or in quick succession, the pictures in the notification bubble change but the contact names do not. I'm not sure if the solution should be to stick to the first notification (not change the picture nor the name) or to notify all of them (change both the picture and the name). It is possible that the bug is actually in the notify-osd Ubuntu package, because if I remember correctly the old notification-daemon does display multiple notifications at once. Also, shouldn't this be reported against the "Notifications" component of Empathy?
