Every message gets new list item on empathy indicator

It happens on 14.04. with empathy 3.8.6-0ubuntu9 and indicator-messages (13.10.1+14.04.20140321-0ubuntu1) and earlier versions also.

This seems to happen after empathy (the main window, not the chat window) is restarted. I've attached a branch for indicator-messages that should fix the issue.

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-messages - 13.10.1+14.04.20140410-0ubuntu1

  * messages-service: listen to the ApplicationStoppedRunning call Prior
    to this patch, only applications that exit were marked as "not
    running". However, this must also happen when an application unrefs
    it's MessagingMenuApp instance. This is a problem for applications
    which implement messaging menu integration as a plugin (when
    unloading the plugin). Specifically, this causes bug #1302930, as
    telepathy-indicator doesn't exit when empathy exits. (LP: #1302930)

It's not fixed after last update

Screenshot of bug

Did you restart your session? What steps do you use exactly to trigger the issue?

It happens every time even on fresh session, after reboot. Maybe it is cause of connecting to vpn (network change / disconnect)?

You are sure you are uptodate and restarted your session? Could you describe what you do exactly? What sort of accounts are you using/are configured?

I've got newest version from repository (update mentioned earlier is installed)

I know how to reproduce that now:
1) Use Facebook account
2) Open chat with someone
3) Write, close chat window
4) Wait for response, don't open notification yet
5) Reconnect network
6) Write Reply to message another way (by messenger on phone, or in browser
7) Wait for reply from another side
8) Now you have two or more notifications

I can check later which steps are obligatory if you need, but with this workflow it happens every time.
Also i see side effect that number of notifications on dock is wrong.

Thanks, it would be useful to lower the number of steps if possible (like if the reconnect is really needed) but that seems a good basis. I tried steps similar to that with a g+ account talking to a jabber one (so I could do both side), but it does require some devices/accounts and I might have got the mix wrong, at least I couldn't reproduce the issue...

Ok, I can confirm that using gtalk accounts here, thanks for the steps!

It was ok for some time, but now it's bad again.
