     Type:  defect                  |    Status:  new       
Component:  Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN     |   Version:  2.10.3    
 Keywords:  login invisible status  |  
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
 Pidgin: 2.10.3 and 2.7
 Platform: Ubuntu 11.04
 Protocol: Yahoo


 I use pidgin with an yahoo account and the majority of my buddies are
 using Yahoo Messenger.

 ----

 Steps:


 1. In preferences I check "Use status from last exit" or
    set "Status to apply at startup" = Invisible
 2. I set pidgin to auto connect at startup


 3. I go invisible and close pidgin -> last status = invisible


 4. On another computer using '''Yahoo Messenger''' one of my buddies is
 watching his contacts list

 5. I start Pidgin which auto connects or simply connect



 6. What happens:
    My buddy receives a notification that "my_nickname is now offline"
 although
    I never appeared online/available in his list before this.
    (the buddies using Pidgin are not notified)
 7. What should happen:
    I connect invisible without notifying anyone about that

 ----

 I noticed this bug with Pidgin 2.7 too(that's why i upgraded my version)
 and it seems no one filled a ticket for exact this specific situation.
