People are giving feedback to this issue. Some developers would be interested in that. It's frustrating to have the usability of a program hurt so badly by such a seemingly small thing. (It seems like it should be able to qualify as a Papercut.)
And this bug report has a whole 7 comments in the extremely long time it's been open. I really don't think you're justified in making a huff over it. -- Display icon indication for mobile/web client/bot/etc IM users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332348 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
