"X is Typing..." showing even though nobody's not typing

Open rrthomas opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

The symptoms are similar to #297, only now the web site does not show it, only Pidgin. I've had this a few times with 0.9.4 (don't recall whether it happened before).

Are you sure the person hasn't left anything typed by mistake?By the way, "nobody's not typing" is a double negative.

I just experimented with having a contact type something then abandon the message (switch from the app to another app on their phone), and the "X is typing…" prompt disappeared.

In the case where it remained, they were no longer marked as logged in to Facebook.

(Multiple negatives in English are commonly used to add emphasis, as in many other languages. I copied the bug title from #297.)

I get this quite commonly with the latest version.

I don't think there's much I can do here
