Description Cláudio Gil 2010-02-08 13:43:11 UTC

When someone uses the handwriting feature for windows live messenger the writing does not appear in the conversation window of the N900. Instead a blank message is shown, that is, you know that the person sent something but don't see any message.

SOFTWARE VERSION:
N900, maemo 5, 2.2009.51-1, pt

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Install pidgin protocols plugin for convesations and contacts
2. Add your msn account
3. Start a conversation with any msn contact
4. Ask her to use the handwritting feature of live messenger
5. Wait for the message

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
The handwritting message (image) is shown.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
A blank message is shown (the name, the colon, and a blank space)

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

Handwriting is not implemented. There is no Telepathy spec for it.

Even if we did write a Telepathy interface for it, and implemented it in butterfly, then as the chat UI on the N900 is closed-source, we couldn't implement it there.

As a result, I'm tempted to WONTFIX this.

(I reassigned this to butterfly because there is more of a chance it would be implemented there.)

I have opened bug #6624 in the spec asking how it could be represented.

Comment 3 Olivier Le Thanh Duong 2010-02-18 04:55:58 UTC

Sorry this was bug #26624

Comment 4 Olivier Le Thanh Duong 2010-04-07 18:33:24 UTC

We implement messages interface now, so we are blocking on Empathy support before implementing this https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612752

The CM implements features before clients, so we shouldn't block on Empathy at all.

If you want something to test this handwriting feature while implementing it in butterfly, you should write a simple client to do just that.
