Offline, online

[Phil Deakins]

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, or if there's a jira about it, but I keep seeing this...

A friend logs off as I'm typing an IM. Just before I send it, I get the message that <avatar> is offline. That's normal. But I don't notice it and press Return to send the IM, whereupon I get the instant message that the friend is online. I check my Friends list and the avatar is showing as online. It happens so quickly that it isn't possible for anyone to log out and in in the second or two that it takes. Then, if I send another IM, I get the message that the avatar is offline and that the message will be stored, as normal.

It happens quite a lot, and with any Friend. It may even happen with those who are not friends. I don't know.

Yeah this is old behaviour.

JIRA issue: SVC-6653 - offline friend shows as online when IMed

Thank you, Whirly. The jira was created in 2010, the last comment was added in 2013, but the issue was updated in May 2016, and I can't see any way for me to add a comment. So the fact that the jira exists doesn't seem to have made any difference, and yet it is now quite a common occurence. The only way that I can inform LL that it exists is this sub-forum.

I've been seeing this phenomena fo as long as I've been in SL.

You could start a new JIRA.

... looks at Phil's profile pic and wonders if he really needs all that hair.

[Phil Deakins]

He definitely needs it all. Besides, it's fireproof

I just tried to do that. I filled in all the details and clicked to Save, Post, or whatever the button is called. The page that was returned was the SVC-6653 jira that you linked to, Whirly. I'd mentioned the similarity to that one in my details. The details I filled in are nowhere to be seen.

It's the first time that I've tried to submit a jira, so I've no idea what happened, or how to fix it. I imagine that doing it all again will produce the same result.

ETA: I've found it - BUG-48140. Does it stay as BUG until it's been acknowledged?

That issue won't move.  If LL accept the bug they will clone it over into one of their internal projects.

SVC-6653 was already accepted & imported as ER-486 (look in the issue history to see the imported issue), but we have no way to see if ER-486 is still open or not.
If ER-486 is still open they will likely close your new BUG as a duplicate.

It's too much mucking about for my taste. It's good for them to bring reports together, of course, but too messy for me to try to follow
