Even if people are online in Skype and show up in the Pidgin buggy list as
online they still are counted as offline (eg. the Skype group displays 0/x
as online when it's minimized) and currently online Skype contacts
disappear, too, when you hide offline contacts in the menu.

I'm using pidgin 2.5.2 on Vista Business.

Interesting!  Are those buddys that appear offline, have their status as 
"SkypeMe" 
in Skype?

Hmm, I'm going to check this. Today some other contacts that were online were 
counted
as online, too, so I'm going to watch out during the next few days and try to
pinpoint the issue some more.

Ok, it happened again. Four people are online and only one is counted.
Skype itself shows two as Online, one as DND and one as Not Available.

After signing out in Skype and disabling and reenabling the account in Pidgin 
it only
displayed one as online in the group window.
After repeating that step one more time, its down to 0 again :-/

Interesting... I wonder how Pidgin is counting the online people.  I'll have a 
look 
through the Pidgin code later to see if I can see what it does to count the 
online's.

Thanks for that :)

Confirming the issue on Ubuntu Intrepid. Pidgin 2.5.3 + Skype 2.0.0.72. 
Sometimes
Online Skyoe contacts will appear as offline in Pidgin unless Hide Offline 
Buddies is
unchecked. This appears rarely and I cannot reproduce in in any reasonable way.

New findings + reproduction of the bug

## Findings:

1. After contacts disappear, if they change their status in Skype they reappear 
in
the list.
2. When contacts disappear, checking Show Empty Groups makes them reappear as 
usual.
It is kind of workaround.


## Reproduction:

1. Launch Pidgin w/ skype4pidgin on and linked with Skype.
1.1. Pidgin Buddy List appears; Skype is launched and going online.
1.2. Everything good.

2. Change Status in Pidgin to Offline.
2.1. Wait for disconnect.

3. Change Status in Pidgin to Online.
3.1. Contacts begin appearing.
3.2. Skype contacts appear for a fraction of a second and then disappear.

Notes:
* Repeating step 3 results in the same behaviour.
* Relaunching Skype renders no result.
* Relaunching Pidgin fixes the problem.
* Enabling Show Empty Groups fixes the problem w/o relaunching Pidgin.

I see this problem a lot and right now i always set pidgin to show empty groups 
to
make sure I see all the skype contacts that are online. Otherwise I may not see 
all
the online skype contacts.

Hi there, having the same problem with Ubuntu 10.04 and at the office PC with 
WIN7 as well, 3 contacts are showing as online, and 2 contacts are not showing 
at all.

These are always the same contacts, which are showing, does that mean, its a 
settings issue?


Thanks, and kudos for the plugin!
