Created attachment 30941 [details] butterfly.log When talking to msn contact for some reason messages are lost. I've attached a .log and a screenshot to 'prove' this problem. As you can see I've send the text 'test 1' until 'test 7' to myself via an old msn adress. The conversation window only received 'test 1' until 'test 4'. This really should be fixed as soon as possible, because this isn't desirable at all. BTW, I was directed here from the empathy bug tracker.

Almost forgot, I'm running telepathy-butterfly-0.5.2 on Ubuntu 9.10.
I have used butterfly for some month starting with the release of Fedora 12 but had to change back to emesene because butterfly+empathy seems to be *very* unreliable. I am not sure if my problem is the same as Marcel's but I have noticed the following: • sometimes butterfly shows MSN contacts as online who are no longer online • sometimes MSN contacts see you, but their messages don't reach you • sometimes you see an MSN contacts, but your messages don't reach them Maybe this is also related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24736 ?

Looking at your log, the problem is clearly that the switchboard is closing in between messages 4 and 5. Olivier Le Thanh Duong wrote a patch for butterfly which should notice new switchboards and attach them to existing conversations. Can you try it out please? First, close Empathy and wait for ~5 seconds, and then: $ git clone git://git.collabora.co.uk/git/user/olethanh/telepathy-butterfly.git $ cd telepathy-butterfly $ git checkout fix_attach_conversation $ BUTTERFLY_PERSIST=1 ./telepathy-butterfly Your logs were useful. Logs if it works or doesn't work would be useful. Thanks.
We've fixed multiple problems with losing messages recently. Please re-open this bug with logs if you're still seeing this bug with the most recent releases of butterfly and papyon.
