Bug 164115 – kde-base/kopete-3.5.6 - contact list is truncated

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Andrei 2007-01-27 22:26:00 UTC]

i'm not sure what is the cause of this or when it happened but my contact list gets truncated. this happens to only one group, "friends", wich should have ~170 contacts, but kopete shows only 30 of them. i've tried renamig that group, still 30 contacts, i've tried splitting it in 2, the first half is still truncated. i've tried connecting with the yahoo messenger client on windows and it works fine. gaim also works ok with my account. i've tried kopete at my dad's office under kubuntu 6.06 and it works there.

here are the use flags i used to compile kopete: 

kde-base/kopete addbookmarks alias autoreplace connectionstatus contactnotes highlight history -jingle latex nowlistening statistics texteffect webpresence



Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Charlie Shepherd (RETIRED) 2007-02-03 20:10:43 UTC]

Which version of kopete? I assume kde-base/kopete rather than net-im/kopete

[Comment 2 Andrei 2007-02-05 02:07:44 UTC]

i use 3.5.5-r2 but today i tested with 3.5.6 and i've got the same results.

[Comment 3 Andrei 2007-02-09 16:10:23 UTC]

update: i tried to log in under kopete 3.5.5 under kantotix at a friend's and got the same results i got home. 30 contacts, the last one in the group truncated...

[Comment 4 Matteo Azzali (RETIRED) 2007-02-16 09:53:46 UTC]

You said that splitting in 2 groups you got truncated only the first group...
Does this happened at the same contact? Could it be something like a special 
character in the name (and your kopete ,without that char, goes nut)?

[Comment 5 Matthias Vill 2007-02-16 12:44:28 UTC]

Could it be due to a server side limitation?
I don't no wether yur IM-Server likes huge contact lists.

[Comment 6 Andrei 2007-02-16 13:24:29 UTC]

@Mateo, I'm not sure. After removing ~/.kde/share/apps/kopete/ and ~/.kde/share/config/kopeterc I only get 27 contacts in that group, but this time the last one's name isn't truncated anymore... BUT I do remember seing a square next to the truncated names, as if kopete was trying to display some weird char it shouldn't.

@Matthias, In kopete I'm using the same server I'm using in Gaim (the default in both). As I said before, my contact list appears just fine under other clients...

[Comment 7 Andrei 2007-03-05 16:11:42 UTC]

It's kde-base/kopete.
Kopete 3.5.6 is also broken :(

[Comment 8 Andrei 2007-05-02 20:10:13 UTC]

Created attachment 117992 [details, diff]
fix for the contacts loss bug on yahoo protocol.

This is a patch wrote by Andre Duffeck (kopete dev). I've tested it and it works ok. Could someone include it in the tree untill a new version gets out?

[Comment 9 OxO pHz.60 2007-06-01 01:12:43 UTC]

I have the same problem, only for the msn protocol so the patch really doesn't help me.

[Comment 10 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2007-07-08 11:20:44 UTC]

I can't reproduce this problem with about 130 contacts using kopete-3.5.7. Is this still a problem for anyone with 3.5.7?

[Comment 11 Marcus D. Hanwell (RETIRED) 2007-07-15 22:15:28 UTC]

Please reopen this bug if it is still an issue in KDE 3.5.7.
