[Bug 730556] [NEW] Turning off "open new chats in separate windows" not always works

Mon Mar 7 10:59:21 UTC 2011

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

When I turn off the "open new chats in separate windows", the new chat
window behaviour is not consistent. When I doubleclick a contact,
sometimes I get a new window, sometimes I get a tab in the existing one.

It seems that it's somehow account-related, since it usually happens on
the first chat after I open the client. In that situation I already have
IRC channels open, but when I try to open a jabber chat it opens a new
window. Later on I get new tabs from jabber conversations.
