I am also seeing this behaviour, and have seen it since Gutsy 7.10. I am using the same version of Intrepid and Pidgin listed above, as installed from the Alternate CD.
As a workaround, you can do the following -- but the root cause should really be triaged and fixed: -Open Pidgin and log on to Yahoo! (or whatever messenger service you use) -Open the buddy list -Navigate 'Buddies' > 'Show' > uncheck 'Offline Buddies' -Navigate 'Buddies' > 'Show' > check 'Offline Buddies' Your buddy list will now show all offline buddies that you have flagged as "Show When Offline" If you need any further details, please don't hesitate to ask and I will post as needed. Thanks! -- Contacts don't show when offline https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
