Description topdownjimmy 2012-03-18 17:51:49 UTC 
Initial messages of a conversation are not being displayed in the window. They show up in the log, but not in the window. Happens with all protocols.

Confirmed on clean installed Ubuntu 14.04LTS 64bit on jabber protocol.

First message is lost always when I have already opened chat window with another contact/s When first message comes it opens chat window but missing that new message.

When I completely close all chat windows and open new one with the contact of the lost message then I can see that the missing message is there but with strange style - like outside of theme.

The same results are with various clients on the other side - pidgin, miranda, adium, facebook, googletalk

Which version of Empathy are you using? This could be bug #662672
