           Summary: adding or authorising users while invisible doesn't
                    work (wlm aka msn)
           Product: kopete
           Version: 0.80.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jadrian at mat.uc.pt


Version:           0.80.2 (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4) "release 2",
KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31.5-0.1-default


Once again, I got a request while invisible, selected "add" and nothing. After
doing this the contact shows up as being "blocked". I can't see them online and
they can't see me online. Leaving invisible mode doesn't help.

Still not sure how to fix this, but a combination of getting out of invisible
mode, clicking on the "block profile" option to try and disable it, sending a
request to add that user, and restarting kopete seems to do the trick. Which
combination of steps actually solves it I have no idea.

I only started suspecting some bug after this happened a few times. The first
times were with people I had just met and for whom I had no other contact.
Months after adding them (or so I thought) I still hadn't seen them online and
wondered why. And I'm sure they thought I had just ignored their requests. I
wouldn't be surprise if other people had lost contacts this way.
