Description Christopher Granade 2011-05-11 20:54:47 UTC
When a new instant message arrives while using Empathy with Gnome Shell, it is marked as an unread message by Empathy, triggering a changed icon for the Contact List. In addition, a Gnome Shell notification is triggered, attached to an icon for the sender. Reading the message in one of these two locations does not clear the notification in the other location, resulting in out-of-date unread counts and redundant information being presented to the user.

Comment 1 Dagan McGregor 2011-05-28 02:15:33 UTC
 Wow, this is one HIGHLY annoying bug for a user. Getting the message prompts twice, even when the *client settings* are saying to disable all forms of notifications.

If they want to integrate Empathy and GNOME Shell, settings should use one window or the other. The notifications should also honour the *client settings* for notification messages.

Also, see this upstream GNOME bug report also https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632726

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:46:48 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
