Incoming typing notifications not working

I'm using the latest build (e4ccf26) with Pidgin 3.0.0devel / libpurple 3.x.

I've noticed that, recently, I don't receive any incoming typing notifications ("User Name is typing…") from my Hangouts account. It appears that purple-hangouts is still sending outgoing typing notifications, however.

I tried uncommenting the debug logging in hangouts_received_typing_notification, but I still don't see any information about typing notifications…

Has anyone else been having this problem? Is it possible that something about the format or structure of typing notifications has changed? I still receive them fine using a months-old version of Hangouts on Android.

Hmm, I'm still seeing them, but it could be a change to hangouts that's rolling out slowly. Are you seeing the typing notifications on hangouts.google.com? Are you seeing them in your Pidgin on other protocols?

Yes to both.

EDIT: ignore this… I think it's just a (confusing IMHO) change in the way Pidgin 3.0 shows these… PEBKAC error ☹

Pidgin 3.0.0 just shows these… differently.
