Public bug reported:
Every few minutes, at irregular intervals, my IRC connection from Pidgin
is abruptly dropped. Pidgin soon reconnects automatically, but this is
still quite annoying since I am shown to other members as having dropped
off and rejoined. (Also this causes channel servers etc. to send me
fresh messages, popping up distracting notifications.) For example, in
just a half hour or so (trimming reconnect messages to show just
“mode”):
(09:25:57 AM) mode (+v jglick) by ChanServ
(09:32:21 AM) The account has disconnected and you are no longer in this chat.
You will automatically rejoin the chat when the account reconnects.
(09:33:58 AM) mode (+v jglick) by ChanServ
(09:36:52 AM) The account has disconnected and you are no longer in this chat.
You will automatically rejoin the chat when the account reconnects.
(09:38:52 AM) mode (+v jglick) by ChanServ
(09:49:16 AM) The account has disconnected and you are no longer in this chat.
You will automatically rejoin the chat when the account reconnects.
(09:50:08 AM) mode (+v jglick) by ChanServ
(09:55:01 AM) The account has disconnected and you are no longer in this chat.
You will automatically rejoin the chat when the account reconnects.
(09:55:35 AM) mode (+v jglick) by ChanServ
There is no clear reason for the connection drop. My network connection
is still fine. I have not been idle (but neither have I been sending
chat messages; Pidgin shows me as “available” in the message tray). The
problem occurs on two different servers: irc.freenode.net (#jenkins);
and a private IRC server.
Empathy does not suffer from the same problem under identical
circumstances, so it is specific to Pidgin and not merely a server or
network bug. (I prefer to use Pidgin due to superior features, and since
Empathy seems completely broken in 13.04.)
Reproducible for me since I first tried to use Pidgin in 12.04 circa
July 2012, whatever version that was. (Until now was using Empathy as a
workaround for this bug.)
