View Full Version : Kopete shows full screen names in chat window (ugly)

Instead of showing the global identity's nickname in chat windows, Kopete 1.0.8 shows the full screen name/address of the active account. That is, instead of:

===========
* John:
lorem ipsum...

Kopete shows:

===========
* johnnes_bismark_smithington_the_third@jabber.org:
lorem ipsum...

There does not seem to me to be anyway to change this in Kopete's configuration options; the desired fix would have Kopete show nicknames, rather than addresses in chat windows. Although hardly crucial, it's enough of an annoyance for me to consider switching clients.

This was also mentioned in a KDE forums thread from 2009: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=83766.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
