Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The contact list in irc channel in empathy does not refresh properly. It means when someone joins the room, leaves it and joins again, he is in the list twice. I can refresh the list on demand (by press F9 to hide the list and press F9 again to show it), but it should work automatically.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
empathy-3.4.2.1-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. join any irc room using empathy
2. wait until someone leaves and re-joins the room
3.
  
Actual results:
The incoming is in the list twice 

Expected results:
The incoming is in the list only once

Additional info:

We don't intend to support IRC in Empathy for RHEL7 -- telepathy-idle is not part of RHEL7.

Unless this bug is valid for other protocols that support multi-user channels (eg., Jabber), we will not be fixing this.

Couldn't reproduce it for Jabber rooms. I tried with jdev.org, for what it is worth.

Please feel free to reopen the bug if you have reason to believe otherwise.
