Jabber stays "Online" even when logged out

[msoysal]

Hi,
i asking myself who else has this problem:
Bug 31378 – Jabber stays "Online" even when logged out.

This bug is really annoying and the messeages which are sent are lost.

Channing some timeouts did not help.

Hi,
i did another test:
on the same Server i created 2 users:
user1@domain.de and user2@testdomain.de

I added both account in pidgin and made each other friends.

If i deactivate or go offline with user1@domain.de then this user is still
shown online for user2@testdomain.de.

Same if i go with user2@testdomain.de offline. It is still shown online for
user1@domain.de.


This is really a big problem, cause every message is lost during this.

Probably won't be fixed until Guns and Roses is released.

Hm i did much more testing cause this drives me crazy.
And it looks like that this is not Zimbras fault. For me it looks like that libpurple (pidgin) is broken or it does not like Zimbra and his Jabber server


I tried one account with a client that is not based on libpurple like pidgin,adium and whatever. And now everthing looks fine.


Can anybody confirm this?

Does this still happen if you make certain to use "zcs" as your Resource with any external IM client (pidgin, etc)? I found that for status to be properly/accurately reflected between webclient IM and external-app IM, that "zcs" resource is very important.

ressource "zcs" does not change anything, problem still exists.

Im wondering cause a lot of people are using pidgin (linux) and adium (mac) and this bug does not affect more people.

Could it be that this problem only happens with openfire (zimbras embedded jabber server) and libpurple (pidgin,adium) clients?

i wasted a lot of time for this problem but all i found was only this:
#7343 (XMPP not doing status updates) ? Pidgin ? Trac

Someone is mentioning a spark client from igniterealtime.org, those guys are the same people behind openfire.

If this bug would be a generic pidgin,adium.... problem, much more people would have this trouble.
