Invisible status shows as busy

Asked by will.ph

Unable to change my status to Invisible. It shows up as Busy. Everything seems to be working fine, but I would like to be in Stealth mode with some of my accounts. Accounts added and working were Yahoo and Google Talk. Voice chat untested yet, though. Also, the call option is grayed out. Might be a noob-related problem.

Not sure if this is an Empathy, Telepathy, or Intrepid Ibex bug.

Intrepid Ibex was installed from Live CD. Empathy was installed using "Add/Remove..."

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. I am using 9.10 Karmic Koala, and in empathy IM when I'm clicking the status 'hidden', it becomes 'busy'. I click it again, and then becomes 'Hidden'. This must be a bug, I hope the fix it in Lucid.

Can you help with this problem?
