           Summary: User quit/nick changes not always noted
           Product: konversation
           Version: 1.0.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: rdaruszka gmail com


Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When users quit or change nicks the change is not always reflected in queries with them or the channel nick lists.

Examples that I have seen:
User comes online, I query them, they change nick, when I try to message them in the query it says user is not online.
User comes online, eventually they quit, no quit message appears in any channel/query, nicklist still lists them as online but they are not.

Sometimes it works as it should, sometimes not.  I have yet to notice a pattern to it's failures.  I've noticed this running konversation 1.0.1 under kde 3.5.8 on kubuntu 7.10 and also previously in with gentoo linux, not sure of konversation/kde versions then but it was no more than 3 months ago running the latest and greatest available at the time.

Also the watched nicks fail to give notices that users are online and fail to update in the watched nicks online tab.

Also in at least one case I have seen a user who was already in a channel get a join message as seen below:

[21:39:39] --> Victor has joined this channel (rdaruszka c-76-20-13-184 hsd1 ca comcast net) 

... Much talking but no quit/part messages in this period for the other user, I believe he was in the channel at all times.

[01:16:57] [Whois] Victor is rdaruszka c-76-20-13-184 hsd1 ca comcast net (purple)
[01:16:57] [Whois] Victor is a user on channels: #nbtsc
[01:16:57] [Whois] Victor is online via castle.nbtsc.org (Not Back To School Camp Chat).
[01:16:57] [Away] Victor is away: I'm not here right now
[01:16:57] [Whois] Victor has been idle for 3 hours, 36 minutes, and 55 seconds.
[01:16:57] [Whois] Victor has been online since 10/24/2007 09:39:36 PM.
[01:16:57] [Whois] End of WHOIS list.
[01:34:42] --> Victor has joined this channel (rdaruszka c-76-20-13-184 hsd1 ca comcast net) 
[01:34:53] <-- Victor has left this server (Quit: Leaving.).

The user info appears to match my personal userinfo (the rdaruszka username) however the system had been mine previously, and there was much playing with settings so it is possible that my IRC settings on the system got copied to the new users settings.  The hostname does not match my hostname so I believe it's just mixed up settings and not any sort of bug in konversation.

It appears that any nick changes or quits that appear in the channel window will be reflected in the nicklist, but I cannot say with 100% certainty that this is so.

I have not been able to reproduce the bug intentionally, just noticed it quite frequently.  I'm not sure what else I can provide to help track this down, but I will be glad to attempt to answer any questions regarding the bug or my setup I can.
