Chat Activity displays other users names weird

[martianpenguin]

See screen shot. The user's name is displayed as a hex string when the person joins and then displayed as ??? when they type. It also seems as though the colors are not displayed properly either.

Version info: I think this was version 653, however i was using this file with it: http://dev.laptop.org/~morgan/chat.py which is supposed to fix the scrolling bug.

I seem to have figured that this bug appears when two people are in a chat, but they can't see each other in the neighborhood. Perhaps the jabber server is overloaded.

Morgan, is this a problem in current joyride?

jg, it's an exceptionally rare problem that is hard to duplicate. It was reported by somebody before Trial 2 but we couldn't find a specific cause other than network unreliability causing a D-Bus call to timeout when trying to retrieve buddy properties.

I'll look into it again.

From morgs comment, I don't think this is critical for Update.1.

Another problem where logs would be valuable. :(

Closing as invalid because it appears that without logs we can't do anything about the problem.
