            Bug ID: 326163
           Summary: Telepathy SIPE plugin not working
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: telepathy
           Version: git-latest
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: accounts-kcm
          Assignee: kde-telepathy-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: Kanwar.Plaha at gmail.com

1. The UI for adding a sipe account behaves weird. Try adding an account to
experience it. While entering the account name, certain keys ('a', for example)
makes the focus jump to another entry field. This causes errors in entries and
entering password is very hard. Currently, I type all values in krunner and the
cut/paste to fields! Surely, this is not the expected behaviour nor is it safe
for entering passwords.
2. Once everything is entered, the plugin just does not connect. As I
understand, it is using the same libpurple/haze plugin that is used by pidgin
and the latter has no issues connecting. This is very annoying to the end-user
if not to the devs.
3. Finally, where is the error log file so one can check what's going on under
the hood?

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Instant Messaging Settings ...
2. Click 'Add Account'
3. Click 'All [ AOL, Gadu-Gadu, Yahoo and more ... ]
4. Choose sipe / office communicator and click Next
5. Try entering values in any of the entry fields
If the above is successful, click Finish and try to connect.
Actual Results:  
Incorrect focus order of entry fields as well as strange behaviour when
entering values in any of the fields, often leading to incorrect entries.

Expected Results:  
Field entry UI behaves as expected and kde-telepathy successfully connects to a
sipe account.
