Description Johnny Proton 2006-05-05 15:41:35 UTC
Also referenced at Gaim bugzilla # 1482579

My wifi internet connection drops and reconnects a lot and Gaim doesn't know how
to handle this.

System: 
I'm using the Auto-reconnect plugin on Gaim 1.50 included with Fedora 5.  I have
my Gaim minimize to the system tray when i'm not using it and am using the
system tray plugin.

Symptoms:
It's annoying as can be because every time my internet reconnects, shortly
thereafter my gaim window pops up, steals window focus and starts reconnecting
to all my accounts.  This is also a usability issue because i have to keep
losing what I was typing as Gaim steals focus.

Proposed Solution:
I would like this window behavior to be removed and the system tray icon to just
display whether I am on or offline and the auto-reconnect plugin to just do its
thing in the background.

the reconnect dialogs and associated error messages are contained into the buddy
list for 2.0.0

Comment 2 Warren Togami 2006-07-10 17:25:41 UTC
We cannot fix this for gaim-1.5.x.  gaim-2.0+ seems fixed.
