Package: kopete
Version: 0.7.4-2
Severity: normal
Whilst chatting to a friend on MSN via kopete, my friend's name
continually changes.
At one point in time, his name was
tom || ? calculus > ? calculus
I attempted to 'Change Alias' to
tom
He subsequently changed his name to
tom || `grep -ri bugbug win2k/* |wc -l` ............. 7464! (strcpy?
10454!)
Now, whilst chatting, his name fluctuates between his old and new
settings (but never to the name I explicitly asked for).
It appears to change mostly when the conversation times out due to
idleness, at which point the name reverts to the calculus one. After
re-instating the conversation, the name will change back to his future
choice.
My desire to have him named 'tom' only lasts as long as the current
'session' (i.e. before the convo times out).
The actual conversation window remains open at all times and the two
clients (myself and tom) are both connected to the network without
trouble.

This is fixed in modern kopete version (0.8.x), that is, the protocol
submenu does not offer the "Change Alias" action anymore.
I'm closing the bug, since is now fixed. Thanks for reporting.
