           Summary: Kopete chat window does not display text after '<'
           Product: kopete
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Chat Window
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tobias-inet00 at nightlabs.de


Version:           1.0.0 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

When I send a message like "blabla <-- this is interesting" then I only see
"blabla" in my Kopete chat window history. The recipient of the message however
receives the whole message. Similarly, when I receive a message like the above
one, Kopete only displays "blabla" without the part behind the "<". The history
also only shows the "blabla ". It seems that it somehow interprets the
transmitted message as HTML and then discards the part after "<" as tag (or
comment?) After some time (writing a few messages with "<" and ">") it suddenly
transmits those characters correctly. I was not able to determine what causes
the change in behavior.

If Kopete screws up transmission of "<", it also messes around with blank
lines. If I write

"test
test
test"

it only displays "test test test". When "<" is transmitted correctly, suddenly
the blank lines are also treated correctly. 

Reproducible: Sometimes


Actual Results:  
Text after "<" is not displayed. Blank lines are not transmitted correctly.

Expected Results:  
Text is sent as it is entered.
