SOFTWARE VERSION: (Settings > General > About product) Official firmware for production units as of December 2009 (week 42). EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: (Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message Connection Failed appears)) 1. Open Jabber chat with contact using Miranda IM 2. Start chatting 3. Dont let the unit fall into standby (let the screen go blank) EXPECTED OUTCOME: New chat messages should be displayed in chat window when they where received. ACTUAL OUTCOME: Actually after a few lines of chatting I hear audible notifications of a new jabber chat message received from my contact. However the chat window doesnt display the new message / doesnt update its contents. If I type a new message it is displayed in the chat window, still missing the received message. I can see only the new messages when I close the chat window and reopen it, doing a refresh the hard way. REPRODUCIBILITY: always, 8/10 EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: None OTHER COMMENTS: Server side Erlang Jabber Daemon (ejabberd) v2.1.0 was used; Miranda version of my contact not known yet.
We need to see if it's only a scrolling problem. Did you try to pan the chat view all the way to the bottom?
Yes I tried to scroll to the bottom of the chat history after I heard the new chat message jingle. However the scroll list stopped on a previous message I received from my contact and not the lastest one received. BTW: The chat window was not reseized using the volume buttons (at standard size from factory defaults).
Thank you for reporting. We should investigate this.
I have the same problem, but only with one contact. Could it be, that this happens if you have more than one jabber account and the other one can be reached via different accounts ?

I have this issue with Google IM. Suspect this may happen with IM conversations that have been going on for a while / have a lot of history.
This has been fixed in package telepathy-gabble 0.8.7-0maemo1+0m5 which is part of the internal build version 2.2009.44-2 (Note: 2009 is the year, and the number after is the week.) A future public update released with the year/week later than this internal build version will include the fix. (This is not always already the next public update.) Please verify that this new version fixes the bug by marking this bug report as VERIFIED after the public update has been released and if you have some time. To answer popular followup questions: * Nokia does not announce release dates of public updates in advance. * There is currently no access to these internal, non-public build versions. A Brainstorm proposal to change this exists at http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/undelayed_bugfix_releases_for_nokia_open_source_packages-002/
The problem reported here should be fixed in the update released today for public: The Maemo5 update version 2.2009.51-1 (also called "PR1.1" sometimes). Please leave a comment if the problem is not fixed for you in this update version.
