Description

- Start Tails 0.19 in a virtual machine

- Connect to the network

- Start Pidgin and open the #tails channel

- Disconnect from the network with NetworkManager
- Reconnect to the network

Then the Pidgin window turns grey. It can be minimized but the application cannot be closed from the notification area.

We didn’t managed to reproduce that with Debian Sid, nor in a Tails based on Wheezy.

Can this be reproduced with Tails 0.22.1, that ships a newer Pidgin (the same as the one in sid, actually)?

  • Status changed from Confirmed to Fix committed
  • Target version set to Tails_1.1
  • % Done changed from 0 to 100

I still can’t reproduce this on current Tails/Wheezy, so marking as fix committed for that version.

There is no fix commited, that should be marked resolved, no ?

It’s broken in current Tails, and will be fixed in 1.1. That’s what “fix committed” means.

Be the fix caused by an actual Git commit or something else is
a low-level implementation detail, that we don’t care much about as
far as the Status field is concerned :)
