What I think you mean is, in the notification menu, when you get an incoming message, it shows your own name rather than the person you're talking to.
I've discovered what causes this: if you start a conversation with someone, your own name is shown in the notification menu. The other party has to initiate the conversation in order for it to show their name (obviously this is a bug). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172934 Title: empathy notification wrong sender name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1172934/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
