Strange behavior since Hangouts went to Chat

Don’t be sorry! I’ll be waiting with bated (not baited) breath. If you need a tester, I’m your guy!

Hmm. That's really strange. There's been some issues related to the 429 errors that can make it reconnect and download history again, but it normally has the right time on it, not the current time. 

 

To completely avoid the question, I'm working on a new plugin for Google Chat at https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-googlechat Efforts are focused more on getting the new one working rather than fixing the old one, sorry. 

 

Cheers, 

Eion

I'm using the Hangouts plugin. Since it reverted to Chat, the only change
I've seen is that when I first start a session after firing up Pidgin, the
first IM I sent winds up at the *top* of the history, and all the history
has the current timestamp.



So if the history was:

(11:34:21 AM) Phil Smith III:

Mornin', Ralph

(11:41:00 AM) Ralph:
Mornin', Sam



When I fire up Pidgin at 12:01:01 and send "Hello", I wind up with:

(12:01:01 AM) Phil Smith III:

Hello

(12:01:01 AM) Phil Smith III:

Mornin', Ralph

(12:01:01 AM) Ralph:
Mornin', Sam



If it's just these few IMs, it's not that confusing, but of course it isn't
ever that few-so it just looks like the first IM didn't go.



Is this something anyone else is seeing?
