           Summary: Confusing/inconsistent presence text manipulation
           Product: telepathy
           Version: git-latest
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: presence-applet
        AssignedTo: kde-telepathy at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mail at eliasprobst.eu


Version:           git-latest (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

The presence applet has a confusing behaviour when setting the presence text.

Clicking on the text makes it editable - so far - so good.
But now it shows the icon "edit-delete" at the end of the input line which
suggests, that clicking it, deletes the current set text.
Instead, this icon does what the icon 'edit-undo' does (used for returning from
setting the presence status).
Furthermore the presence text cannot be set by only using the mouse - it
requires to press "return" to set it.

I'd suggest to make the following changes:
→ Remove the icon 'document-edit' right of the presence text as this simply
duplicates the functionality of clicking on the text itself
→ When presence text is editable, show two icons on the right: edit-undo (to
cancel this action) and go-jump-locationbar or document-save (to confirm the
text).

Reproducible: Always
