OK, I have more data: 1. It only happens when there are also accounts in Empathy which are not logged out. In my case, a Google Talk account, which supports multiple locations. I should have mentioned that, as it now turns out to be relevant. Sorry. In this case Empathy stays on Available status, and when the idle period expires it goes to Away status, logging back in to all accounts.
1b. I've tested this by disabling those accounts, so that *all* active accounts are logged off in Empathy when I start Pidgin. In that case Empathy goes to Offline status, and stays there even when the idle period expires. 2. You can simulate the problem by manually setting Empathy to Away when there are accounts listed as "Name in use" and observing that it logs back in to all accounts. -- Logs back in when user has logged in somewhere else https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
