[Bug 891455] [NEW] Empathy sets status to 'away' when resuming from standby/suspend

 

Public bug reported:

Empathy sets the status to 'away' after resume without respecting the
previous status.

Steps to reproduce:

1. set status to 'offline' in Empathy (e.g. via messaging menu in indicator) 
2. send Ubuntu to standby/suspend to RAM 
3. wake up the system

Result:

* Empathy's status is 'away'

Expected result:

* Empathy's status is still 'offline'

This is problematic because I become visible in instant messaging with
status 'away' without knowing it.


Using Empathy 3.2.0.1-0ubuntu1.1 on Ubuntu Oneiric with all updates as of today installed. Upgraded from Natty about 4 weeks ago. Possibly related bugs: Bug #544242 and Bug #674500 .
