Duplicate "Available" status entries

Asked by Roman Polach

I have these status items available in combobox at the bottom of Gaim main window:

Available
Away
Invisible
Offline
--- (division line)
Available
I'm not here right now
--- (division line)
New...
Saved...

I do not know why there are 2x "Available" items there and what is the
difference between "I'm not here right now" and "Away"...

Moreover, when I choose "Away", then this items would also duplicate itself, so I get:

Available
Away
Invisible
Offline
--- (division line)
Available
Away
I'm not here right now
--- (division line)
New...
Saved...

Is it a bug or do I not understand Gaim status switching correctly?

Hi,

Go to Preferences > Away/Idle and check if you created a new Away profile.

Take care.

I do not see how to create away profile on "Away/Idle" preferences page
( I made screenshot of this dialog page here: http://artwine.wz.cz/secondary/gaim_pref_screenshot.png )
...anyway, I have not set any away profile myself..

but maybe relevant information is that I use 1 oscar/icq and 1 jabber account simultaneously... but disabling jabber account does not change behavior described above..

I see duplicate entries as described also in Gaim for Windows..

The list of status after the first separator is for user defined status OR least recently used status with status message.

Which version do you use ? Because I remember in some older beta this list was growing really fast as "normal" status were also added to it. Seems fixed in Beta 6, though.

For user-defined status, click on "Saved" to remove the ones you don't want anymore.

"Saved" list is empty.. but in Feisty (Gaim beta6) seems to be fixed now,
thanx.
