[Bug 822224] Re: Messaging menu icon should indicate when someone is typing a message to me (but didn't send it yet))
Hey mpt,
thanks for this explanation. I really appreciate the fact that you got to review my old idea, even though 4 years have passed since I reported it! And I honestly mean it.
Keep up the good work! :-)

Title:
Messaging menu icon should indicate when someone is typing a message
to me (but didn't send it yet))
Status in indicator-messages package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Most of modern instant messengers can tell me, that someone is writing a message to me before it's send. Usually it's shown when the person I'm talking with types in the message field on his/her IM. As this feature is very useful, for it alerts me that someone's saying something to me an I will get a message in a moment, this feature has recently become available in many instant messaging protocols.
This information is usually displayed in the conversation window. However, as I am a proud Unity user, I always minimize the conversation window, because I know that the messaging indicator will notify me about any new messages. Unluckily, it will not inform me when a contact is typing a message to me.
As this feature is very useful and helpful in conversations, the messaging indicator should somehow notify me. Of course it must be seen as well as an information about new message - changing the icon or it's color would be okay. This way, when I see the envelope icon turned, for example, green, I know that in a moment I will get a new message (and then the icon becomes usually blue).
