Description Omer Akram 2010-04-18 10:06:14 UTC 
When sending a text of certain length that wont be sent to the other person empathy does not say anything about that and silently sends it but actually the other person dont receive that text. Pidgin tell that text wont be sent due to its length.

Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-04-19 08:13:37 UTC 
Which protocols have such limitation?
Comment 2 Omer Akram 2010-04-19 08:19:12 UTC 
Just tried and it seems MSN have different limit to send max characters per message and Yahoo have a bit lesser but in both cases the message is not received at the other end and we dont get any visual notification about the exceeded characters limit
Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-04-19 09:03:09 UTC 
This is blocked by this spec bug as Empathy doesn't know the max length allowed:

Comment 4 Norbert Moldován 2010-04-28 13:07:00 UTC 
Hy there, 
I've reported the bug on lp.

In my case it happens with messages composed of just 6 characters. I see no correlation between the length of my message and this bug.
The other aspect of this is, that after the bug occurs I can't send any messages to that contact, until I log out and in again.

I just installed Pidgin because this bug makes impossible for me to chat with my msn contacts. 

Additional information: I'm behind a firewall. Pidgin works with http method enabled on port 1863.

Hope this will be resolved as soon as possible, because I like the new look and feel of Empathy on my Ubuntu 10.04 :)

I'll test this bug with the new releases, and will keep you up to date with the results.
