[Bug 535455] [NEW] Conversation lines misassigned in empathy

[pablomme]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

This is on up-to-date Lucid installed from alpha 3.

This bug has just happened once in several days of using empathy. See
the attached screenshot. On the left is the conversation window as it
was displayed during the conversation, and on the right is the "Previous
conversations" log, displaying the same part of the conversation. The
conversation window is wrong, the log is correct.

In short:
- A line sent by one speaker (yellow) at 1:01 was not displayed
- The line sent at 1:02 by the yellow speaker was assigned to the green speaker (!!)
- The line sent at 1:03 by the yellow speaker disappeared too

Note that all lines were correctly received, since they are in the log.
Could it be a problem with the Ubuntu chat theme? I don't know to what
degree a theme could scramble conversations, though.

This was with the MSN protocol, by the way.

There is little I can do to test any fixes, since the bug has happened
only once without anything sensibly identifiable as a trigger. But
hopefully someone familiar with the code might know where to look and
find the problem.
