           Summary: Return on activity should not return from manually set
                    away status
           Product: konversation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: develop at fuchsnet.ch


Version:           1.2alpha2+ (svn)  (using KDE 4.2.3)
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

There is a setting in the identity to automatically set away status after a
given time without user activity. There is an option to return from the away
status on user activity. 

In my opinion, this should not affect manually set away status. If I set myself
as away via /away, and afterwards type something, I still want to be away. I
can always type /away or use the keyboard shortcut to return from away status. 

Simple example: 

User a needs to go out of office for a short amount of time. He sets himself as
/away. He then remembers that he wants to tell a person he is chatting with
when he will be back. As soon as he starts typing, the /away status is revoked
and set again. 

Even worse example: 

A user wants to be (for whatever reason) marked as away on one network (e.g.
IRCNet).  He still is still active in a different network (e.g. FreeNode). He
will lose his away status in IRCNet.
