Comment 2 for bug 225505

Correction/Addition to my previous response: The page mentioned
http://wiki.pomona.edu/bin/view/FAQ/PidginChat#Plugin is not up-to-date.
See here:

Quote:
" version 2.0.0 (5/3/2007):
" .....
" * The functionality of the auto-reconnect plugin has been
" moved into the core, and the plugin itself has been removed."
So, the Auto-reconnect plugin is supposed not to appear. Whether the Auto-reconnect functionality works correctly or not is an entirely different issue.

Please, report exact circumstance under which Pidgin does not auto-reconnect or any other malfunctioning of auto-reconnection with Pidgin.

Report from Pidgin 2.2.1: as in previous response.

I will update the bug description. The old bug description was:
title "Pidgin doesn't have auto-reconnect plugin"
"Binary package hint: pidgin
"
"http://wiki.pomona.edu/bin/view/FAQ/PidginChat#Plugins says Pidgin comes
"with the auto-reconnect plugin. 8.04 doesn't, and doesn't appear in the repositories
"either. This annoys me since Pidgin can't seem to keep a connection on my
"computer, so I have to constantly reconnect manually."
