[Bug 661004] [NEW] Message disappears if contact goes offline

[emas]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Hi, I just found a annoying bug in Empathy/indicator plugin, I really
don't know where to put this.

Here's bug description:

When one of my contacts sends me a message e.g. with gmail chat, I correctly receive the message as popup and the notification area displays the message (e.g. the icon up there changes). So I can read the message by clicking on the icon, Empathy works, the tab is open an so on.
But, if the contact that sent the message goes offline BEFORE I have read the message (e.g. I have clicked on the icon up there and opened Empathy tab), then the icon change color and the notification up there disappears and there is simply no mean for me to read the message, the message disappears as if if wasn't even sent. 
I think that, if I look for the contact in Empathy and start a chat even if he is offline, the message is correctly displayed in the history, so probably it is not completely lost. At least, this is what happens when the contact comes back online, I can read the message.
But this does not happen if I go offline: the notification is still there, so I can read the message (as far as my contact is online :-)).

Last version of everything (Maverick, Empathy), just run an upgrade.
