Status random reset

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

F-list status used to be stable; I'd set it to whatever, my customized/specific 
text message nor my (available/away/etc) disappear. Now it resets to default 
Available with no text randomly while running; (not after startup or anything, 
consistent running under the same conditions as when it worked.) I am 100% 
certain it is not an issue where changing my general status replaces the f-list 
one or something, this happens when as my general status stays consistent. It 
is particularly aggravating because pidgin gives no warning or anything when 
this has happened.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Hello, it looks like you're using a build of the plugin that was generated from 
the flist-adium source code. It has extra status synchronization code that 
could explain this behaviour. Try using the "proper" flist-pidgin plugin from 
here :

I have now updated the plugin and I notice things are different right away.

Also with what I was using, it only was a real problem when pidgin status was 
set to "available" ; if set to away, the plugin status might not act abnormal 
at all.

But it's been replaced and I'm still generally in "away" status. if I have a 
problem (that happens more than once) I will probably be back to report it. 
Thank you very much for your response.

vobe is correct.

The current version of the F-List plugin does no status synchronization. It 
ignores your Pidgin status and stores your status and status message locally as 
account settings. This is intentional.

You can set your status using /status in any chat room or IM window for the 
account, or you can go to Accounts -> (Your Account) -> Set Status.
