Created attachment 780840 [details] Screen-shot of broken Empathy contact list Description of problem: When Empathy is used with a Facebook account, everything works as expected for a a few minutes. Then all thumbnails disappear, and some users are shown as ID numbers @chat.facebook.com. This effectively makes identifying contacts impossible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): empathy-3.8.3 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set-up a Facebook account for instant messaging in GNOME on-line accounts. 2. Start Empathy. 3. Wait. Actual results: Missing thumbnails and names. Expected results: Contacts should be identifiable at all times. Additional info:
Been on vacation, but had a chance to fire up the laptop today and I confirmed this bug. Glancing at the linked ubuntu bug it appears updating tp-gabble might fix this. I'll look as time permits (I don't back from vacation until Aug 10th) at confirming that tp-gabble-0.17.5 fixes this.
Did a quick build & test of tp-gabble-0.17.5, and it doesn't fix this bug.
