           Summary: "Join the channel foo" stays in status bar even after
                    mouse off /topic # link
           Product: konversation
           Version: 0.19
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: cheal hotpop com


Version:           0.19 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          GCC 4 
OS:                Linux

When a channel's topic contains a string starting with "#", konversation parses it as a link to a channel on the same network. When the mouse hovers such a link, the status bar reads "Join the channel #foo". The problem is that the status bar isn't always updated when the mouse leaves the link. The message will disappear if I switch to a different channel window. If the link appears on the first line of the topic, and I leave the area by bringing the mouse up, the message will stay. Similarly if the link is on the last line and I bring the mouse in the conversation log. Or if I hit Alt-Tab. Apparently the only mouse movement which will clear the message is to go over a different area of the topic, or to get over a link in the conversation window.
This should be trivial to reproduce.

As I've used 0.18 quite a bit, this seems to be a 0.19 regression.

I have first experienced this bug in a irritating manner, being on #debian, which topic's contains "NOTE: this is NOT #ubuntu". konversation started to display "Join the channel #ubuntu" frequently, before I knew that there was a feature to print that when the mouse went over a channel link. Ubuntu being a Debian fork, you can guess why I say it is irritating ;) Otherwise, this is a minor bug.
