Comment(by darkrain42):

 If this behavior still exists, I personally agree that it is not only
 undesirable but also incorrect (however, your vitriol isn't particularly
 constructive or likely to convince developers that you're correct). And
 while understanding the need to not clutter libpurple with gobs and gobs
 of special-cases for specific status primitives, I disagree that that
 precludes accepting any special-casing (in fact, see below) and, in this
 particular case, one should not go idleaway while invisible (i.e. appear
 to come online to a buddy).

 That said, like the issue in #1001, I can't reproduce this :).

 In fact, my reading of `purple_savedstatus_set_idleaway` (the function
 responsible for changing one's status when going idle) specifically
 contains code (and has since the name change) that precludes a status
 change when the old status is *not* 'available'. I.e., this shouldn't ever
 happen as best as I can tell.

 I'll believe I'm missing something, so how do I reproduce this bug?
