02:03:07 <clokep> wnayes: I don't think Florian is the initial dev of that file you added. ;)
02:05:29 <wnayes> clokep: all the GPL listings had seemed to be the same (at least with what I was working with) so I left it as is
02:05:47 <clokep> Yeah, it should be you. But don't change it now.
02:05:51 <clokep> There will be review comments.
02:06:33 <clokep> Later though.

09:24:50 <Mic> Yay, context messages from logs. Fetched by the logger and conversation object. No change to conversation.xml anymore :)
09:28:10 <flo> :)
09:28:38 <aleth> Nice :)
09:29:53 <-- micahg has quit (Quit: Ex-Chat)
09:30:15 <flo> wnayes' new patch looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/LS30W.png
09:31:50 <Mic> Looks good except for the scrollbar.
09:32:11 <Mic> He's doing pretty well from what I've seen. Does he have experience with the Mozilla platform already?
09:32:13 <flo> I don't understand how that "Show all available protocols" checkbox is an improvement
09:33:27 <flo> and toggling the value of that checkbox causes some flickering, which the previous version didn't cause
09:34:49 <flo> what's displayed at https://add-ons.instantbird.org/en-US/instantbird/1.2a1pre/protocols/ for you? I see a forbidden error :-S (not related to wnayes' patch at all)
09:35:19 <Mic> The overview page, only listing LJ Talk in every column at the moment.
09:35:38 <flo> ok, I probably have some wrong IP in my hosts file then
09:36:44 <flo> yes, that was the problem :)
09:38:17 <aleth> Looks like wnayes is finding his way around quickly :)
09:38:49 <flo> yes :)
09:38:58 <aleth> I don't really like the checkbox version better either though :-/
09:39:26 <flo> the confusing feedback we sent yesterday that caused a less pleasant to use version to be created isn't as great as his progress :-/
09:39:48 <aleth> Yeah :-/
09:39:50 <flo> aleth: I find it quite difficult to use
09:40:18 <flo> aleth: you have to first scroll the list to see what's there, then be annoyed by the lack of what you were looking for, then look around and notice the checkbox, that most people may not see at all
09:40:22 <aleth> But that's what happens with any bug that changes the UI
09:40:57 <aleth> Yes, it's more complicated.
09:41:24 <aleth> Most importantly, it looks more complicated.
09:42:06 <aleth> What did you think of my suggestion to simply resize the window so there is no scrollbar (should be possible on most screens)?
09:43:13 <flo> aleth: it's not a good idea
09:43:51 <flo> wizards usually have the same standard size for all applications
09:44:32 <aleth> It's very small though.
09:44:33 <flo> (except maybe on linux where applications are based on various different toolkits and may not respect any UI conventions (and this is almost too easy for Mic to add some comment about linux looking bad in general :-D))
09:45:06 <aleth> In many ways he would be right ;)
09:46:50 --> jb has joined #instantbird
09:48:32 <aleth> Though it's nothing compared to what might happen when the web becomes the platform ;)
09:52:47 <Mic> Does it need to be a listbox on this page? If the user is seeing all options at once (and I think she should) we could as well use buttons and save the user a click on the next-button?
09:53:59 <flo> larger-than-normal buttons tend to look very ugly on mac
09:54:32 <Mic> Sorry, I meant buttons function-wise, not necessarily looking like native buttons.
09:58:21 <aleth> A listbox without a scrollbar would act like that already, as long as you double-clicked? 
09:59:28 <aleth> Some space could be saved by ditching the text above the listbox and putting that information in the title (curerntly useless)
10:00:10 <aleth> Would that be enough to show all items including "Show all"?
10:00:19 <flo> I think the title and line of blahblah look completely different on Windows
10:00:33 <flo> aleth: what about you forget that idea of not having a scrollbar? :)
10:02:04 <flo> aleth: while I agree that scrollbars suck (in general), I think getting rid of this one is not the goal for this bug. What we are trying to get rid of is confusing protocol names being shown to the user during the first contact with the application.
10:06:46 <aleth> Well, sure, it's already fixed that problem of course. But like with any new feature you want to get the UI right. And it just seems hard to see why there is no good way the small number of 5 options can't be shown at once...
10:07:00 <Mic> Poor mockup, bottom right would be reserved for "Show others - my network isn't listed here". Background would be a fancy Leibovic-gradient based on the icon.
10:07:02 <Mic> http://imgur.com/In5xv
10:07:30 --> sonny has joined #instantbird
10:08:36 <aleth> That could work :) In particular you could have those 4 be protocols and 'Show others' or whatever a slightly different shape underneath
10:08:47 <flo> Mic: I dislike splitting the list in two columns
10:09:55 <flo> aleth: "And it just seems hard to see why there is no good way the small number of 5 options can't be shown at once..." we haven't decided there are 5 options. Adding back AIM and Yahoo! seems very likely for en-US.
10:10:00 <Mic> It's not a list anymore, don't you see? ;)
10:10:36 <aleth> flo: Oh, I thought the number of popular items was fixed.
10:10:42 <flo> Mic: I see that I couldn't let my father select anything in that screen without having to first get in front of the computer, grab the mouse, and click the button myself
10:20:31 --> clokep has joined #instantbird
10:20:31 * ChanServ sets mode +o clokep 
10:25:00 <clokep> I agree with flo that it needs to be a listbox since the number of popular items is *NOT* fixed.
10:25:08 <clokep> Different locales will have different numbers.
10:25:34 <aleth> Yeah, I didn't realize that, which makes most of my comments useless
10:31:53 <clokep> We should probably give some more directed feedback in the bug though. :)
10:32:59 <flo> clokep: you mean something like "do this, this and this"? ;)
10:33:31 <Mic> Ah, when the number is not fixed things are different, that's true.
10:34:41 <aleth> I wonder if (going back to the first design) the "Show all" entry should be given a different background colour to distinguish it
10:35:00 <clokep> aleth: I was thinking a separated between it and the other items.
10:35:03 <aleth> Or a separator above it...
10:35:12 <flo> aleth: possibly. Or a light grey dotted top border
10:35:19 <aleth> Yes
10:35:28 <aleth> Something like that.
10:35:45 <clokep> flo: I just don't like giving confusing feedback. :(
10:36:16 <flo> clokep: yeah, I was quite disappointed by the result caused by our confusing feedback sent yesterday :(
10:36:38 <flo> clokep: it seems we are going to cause wnayes some unneeded frustration...
10:36:45 <aleth> Feedback on any UI bug has a tendency to be 'confusing' in my experience, simply because you can't judge the suggestions properly until they are implemented
10:36:46 <clokep> Exactly.
10:36:52 <flo> clokep: although I think I would also be interested to know what he thinks about it!
10:37:27 <clokep> Yes. :) Instead of just implementing our suggestions.
10:38:03 <aleth> Yes :) Especially as after all he is a recent new user of Instantbird ;)
10:38:26 <flo> aleth: I don't think I agree. The confusion yesterday came from lots of people saying different things, without meaning that they should actually be implemented now (it was just ideas); and it wasn't clear who said things that needed to be implemented, and who was just brainstorming out loud
10:38:50 <aleth> I thought it was clear it was just  brainstorming? None of it was a review in the bug...
10:39:49 <flo> aleth: I wonder which one of comment 6 and comment 8 wasn't in the bug. :-P
10:41:08 <aleth> That wasn't yesterday :P and was formulated very tentatively on purpose
10:41:10 <clokep> aleth: We do have our reviews on IRC though.
10:41:16 <clokep> s/have/half/
10:41:51 <aleth> What I meant was nobody was saying "wnayes should do this"
10:42:15 <aleth> But of course he might have thought it implicit
10:42:46 * flo thinks the feedback received in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743235 is confusing :(
10:43:18 <aleth> I don't see it as all bad, a lot of ideas being thrown around means the actual coder can read and make up his own mind...
10:44:13 <-- EionRobb has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
10:44:15 <flo> I did; and think gloda sucks :-P.
10:44:44 <aleth> Oh, I was still referring to yesterday's convo, not the gloda bug ;)
10:45:59 <clokep> aleth: Yes I agree, he needs to understand how we work too. :)
10:46:19 <clokep> flo: That bug confused me 5 or 6 emails ago, if not before that. :(
10:46:40 <clokep> flo: Does deleting a contact over JS-XMPP work?
10:48:23 <flo> aleth: I intentionally changed the topic because I was going to get upset at someone (most likely you) for bad reasons (mostly that I have a headache since yesterday evening that makes me slightly more irritable, that there has been a baby in the office for the last 2 hours making distracting noises, and that I'm generally frustrated when I attempt to touch gloda code :-P)
10:49:05 <flo> clokep: it should: http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/chat/protocols/xmpp/xmpp.jsm#367
10:52:59 <clokep> Hmm. OK.

12:12:45 <flo> Mic: we don't until someone gives me a convincing reason explaining why we should :)
12:13:13 <aleth> clokep_work: I'm a bit puzzled why your last patch didn't work. I couldn't see any obvious problem in the code...
12:18:20 <clokep_work> aleth: I tested it, although not as much as I had tested it previously. But maybe I did something crazy and didn't actually rebuild before testing it at one point or something.
12:18:38 <clokep_work> Also, please refrain from issues w/ the /mode command not giving proper responses, it's not part of that bug.
12:19:01 <clokep_work> Feel free to file other bugs on them though.
12:19:24 <aleth> I said it wasn't in my comments... I just left them there because I wasn't sure I had overlooked a bug that had already been filed on those.
12:22:00 <clokep_work> It makes it difficult for me to follow what's related to that bug though. Bugs are cheap, just file 'em if it's a dup we'll dup it. :)
12:22:14 <aleth> OK.
12:22:43 <clokep_work> Thanks! :)
12:22:50 <clokep_work> I'll look at it again tonight though.
12:22:58 <clokep_work> Hopefully it's just something trivial I messed up.
12:23:11 <clokep_work> I thought this patch was a lot nicer though that I combined the notification into the setMode method. :)
12:23:23 <aleth> Yes, it's a great patch :)

12:44:11 <clokep_work> Hmmm...creation time...is that sent with a channel name aleth?
12:44:19 <clokep_work> (I'm guessing it's when the channel was created, if so...)
12:44:43 <aleth> I'll add an example
12:45:30 <clokep_work> Feel free to just copy & paste the entire error console output thing btw, it should have the raw message if not the JSONified message (both is handy btw).
12:45:39 <clokep_work> Although the JSON one includes the raw message...
12:47:28 <clokep_work> Hanging out on gravel, I see. Not on concrete? ;)
12:48:02 <aleth> I don't know why... isn't that automatic? ;)
12:48:15 <flo> isn't gravel the one for european IPs?
12:49:33 <clokep_work> Yeah, it's in Europe somewhere.
12:49:42 <clokep_work> It is automatic if you hit irc.mozilla.org, yes. :)
12:49:45 <flo> near Amsterdam I think

12:56:35 <aleth> It seems the update to the latest nightly was messed up on my dev install
12:56:52 <aleth> That could be causing all the problems for which I can't find a reason in the code ;)
12:57:12 <aleth> Sorry about that :(
12:58:43 <clokep_work> It's OK. :) It happens.
12:58:46 <aleth> Yes, that fixed it. 
12:58:57 <aleth> What a waste of time and confusion...
13:00:15 <clokep_work> Well, hopefully it all Just Works now! :-D
13:00:33 <clokep_work> I think it might still be r- though. :-/ I want to read over it again before it gets checked-in...
13:01:45 <aleth> It behaves the way I would expect it to from the code now :D that's a big plus ;)
13:05:16 <clokep_work> Ah-ha! :)
13:05:43 <clokep_work> (Things that shold probably be changed: I realized when we call the setMode function of a participant...that should probably have the observer notification in that function)
13:07:44 <flo> hmm, I changed something in some gloda code, and now nothing works any more, and not a single warning or error message :-S

13:10:28 <clokep_work> flo: It does make me wonder if you could have rewritten gloda in the time you've spent integrating into it. ;)
13:12:40 <flo> I've wondered that several times. But I suspect it already handles/works around lots of tricky edge cases that I would have had to deal with too

13:23:58 <aleth> The 1.2-wanted doesn't apply to all of it imho, but it does apply to the first item mentioned in the bug, which might be a regression (I don't know) but is certainly not good.
13:26:17 <flo> I don't think it should be set without an explanation of why it's there

13:30:07 <aleth> Yes, unfortunately :(
13:30:45 <aleth> If you disagree with the 1.2-wanted, feel free to remove it. I haven't got a 1.1 installed to check if it's a actually a regression.
13:32:10 <flo> aleth: I disagree with it being set without any discussion or reason, because we won't really know why it's here when cleaning up that list later. And I don't understand that bug, so I don't really have an opinion for how needed that feature is

16:28:59 <-- skeledre1 has quit (Ping timeout)
16:29:56 <aleth> wnayes: Ditto from me... 
16:30:18 <wnayes> Well, I'm learning a lot from the experience either way :)
16:31:49 <wnayes> Although I felt that the second patch was overall a stronger proposal than the first...
16:31:55 <clokep_work> What'd you think of that design instead of the other option anyway? I'd really like it to be more of a discussion than us telling you what to do!
16:33:16 <wnayes> I did not experience any flickering issues, and I reasoned that a static element on the page would provide a more reliable way to reach the longer list
16:34:23 <clokep_work> I think by "flickering" aleth and flo just meant the content of the tab changing...but only kind of changing. I personally thought it looked OK too, but the checkbox did seem a little hidden.
16:34:23 <wnayes> The confusion of the wizardpage back/next behavior was removed as well
16:34:36 <clokep_work> Yes, that's true. :)
16:34:45 <aleth> I didn't see any flickering as I didn't test that second patch ;)
16:35:00 <wnayes> Perhaps on my end the checkbox appears larger? http://i.imgur.com/SSCZr.png
16:35:46 <aleth> If one were to go with that option, the "Get more..." would have to be hidden until the checkbox was ticked.
16:35:49 <flo> clokep_work: it actually flickers, because the icons of list items don't appear immediately
16:36:08 <aleth> Otherwise it is potentially confusing.
16:36:23 <-- flo has quit (Quit: Instantbird -- http://www.instantbird.com)
16:36:28 <clokep_work> flo: Oh, really? I didn't see that.
16:36:45 <clokep_work> wnayes: Yes on Windows 7 the text/checkbox is all a bit smaller I think. I should have made a screenshot. :(
16:37:40 <aleth> It's not an easy problem to find a good design as you have short list -> long list -> potentially "get more"
16:40:46 * clokep_work thinks UI leads to too much bikeshedding...
16:41:37 <aleth> It's very satisfying when it's finally "right" though :)
16:42:08 <clokep_work> I think the "test" for it is to give it to people who aren't very computer savvy and see which one is easier hah.
16:42:31 <clokep_work> I think the checkbox is more elegant in a lot of ways, but potentially more confusing as it's nonlinear.

16:47:27 * aleth discovers bug 1415 is trickier than he expected
16:47:31 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1415 nor, --, ---, aletheia2, ASSI, Unread ruler should also appear after last context message
16:48:55 <clokep_work> wnayes: So I asked one of my friends, she said: "[for http://i.imgur.com/7h5td.png] when you're looking at the list, the "other" choice is right where you're looking you have to search a little more to click the box".
16:49:07 <clokep_work> Which I think is what flo was concerned about as well.
16:49:39 <DGMurdockIII> that look nice
16:49:41 <DGMurdockIII> man
16:50:58 <clokep_work> aleth: I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. :P
16:51:15 <aleth> What if one tried that design, with a separator (maybe a subtle one - a dashed top border was suggested) before the "Show all" option (or maybe a shaded background), and on double-clicking "Show All" went directly to the long list (or single click + Next of course)
16:51:45 <clokep_work> That pretty much is the other design, minus the word changes + the border.
16:51:48 <wnayes> clokep_work: I would agree in that case, but when http://i.imgur.com/r1M6c.png situation arises it is less of a clear choice
16:52:27 <clokep_work> wnayes: But at first you're going to look through the list to see if the network you want is there anyway, you scroll and voila at the end there's an other option!
16:52:53 <clokep_work> I don't think scrolling is an issue personally. If we're incredibly concerned...we could probably reduce the size of the items a bit.
16:54:58 <wnayes> The scrolling becomes an issue when adding additional accounts and finding that the only way to get to them is scrolling past the top list each time to advance.
16:55:20 <aleth> clokep_work: Since the number of top protocols is not determined, one probably can't guarantee they'll all fit anyway, so reducing the size doesn't really help
16:56:00 <clokep_work> aleth: I agree.
16:56:11 <clokep_work> wnayes: Ah, OK. So that's the problem. Not that it's hidden. Good.
16:56:19 * clokep_work wants to think now. ;)
16:56:48 <aleth> wnayes: A different approach could be something like "if the user has selected a protocol from the full list at least once, set a pref and never show her the shortened list again"?
16:56:53 <aleth> (just thinking aloud)
16:57:26 <clokep_work> That gets confusing for the user ("Why is there a different UI all of a sudden?!")
16:58:00 <wnayes> As someone who uses a variety of accounts personally, I could see that extra step of needing to scroll through the list mundane, say, when needing to add a handful of irc accounts (assuming IRC is not a top list contender :) )
16:59:21 <clokep_work> Yes, IRC won't be in the top list.
16:59:27 <clokep_work> wnayes: I agree with what you're saying.
16:59:28 <aleth> clokep_work: Is it really confusing if you only do it after an account from the long list not in the short list has actually been added? At that point the user knows the full list anyway
16:59:34 <clokep_work> It's hard to make UI that's good for beginners and experts. :(
16:59:52 <clokep_work> aleth: Ah I read that backwards! Yes...that might not be too bad.
17:00:07 <aleth> wnayes: I agree. (But I think flo was of the opinion nobody sets up accounts that often...)
17:01:49 * clokep_work wonders if maybe a "Set up another account" on the last page of the wizard, which brings you back to the page you selected from would fix that...?
17:02:48 <aleth> clokep_work: Hmm... I'm not sure many people are that efficient. Usually you'd want to test a newly added account first.
17:03:22 <aleth> But I don't really know what most people would do ;)
17:03:45 <clokep_work> That mythical "normal user", right? ;)
17:04:37 <aleth> I think what you said about trying to get it right for both beginners and experts is a good approach (though difficult).

17:17:41 <flo> wnayes: the real problem I see with http://i.imgur.com/r1M6c.png is that without an item at the end of the list being partially visible, it's possible to not notice the scrollbar
17:18:17 <flo> I understand your concern about that step (and especially having to scroll) being annoying for expert users.
17:18:50 <flo> what about making the "continue" button go to the full list if nothing is selected in the short list? Would that help?
17:18:59 <flo> expert users would just press enter to skip that step
17:19:42 <flo> I have to setup accounts very often my self. I typically press enter immediately after opening the wizard to skip the pointless "welcome" step, then I type the first few characters of the protocol I want, and press enter again
17:19:42 --> BYK1 has joined #instantbird

17:21:11 <aleth> flo: Yes, that's also a bug :-/
17:21:14 <flo> clokep_work: when restoring the old list box for the full list, it will work again, right? :)
17:21:51 <clokep_work> It should.
17:21:54 <aleth> flo: What did you think of my idea with the pref?
17:22:01 * clokep_work is /actually/ going to get a sub this time.
17:22:15 <flo> I think whether we want the first or second design, we will restore the old listbox, if only to avoid the flickering. (we can have both the richlistbox and the old listbox in a desk if we want to go with the checkbox approach)
17:22:46 <flo> aleth: I agreed with clokep_work's comment (I think it was him) saying that it seems nice, but would actually has the potential to be confusing.
17:24:49 <flo> clokep_work: "You can actually select "Other" by default than." I almost suggested that instead of suggesting to show the full list when nothing is selected, but I think if some locales pick only 2 or 3 protocols to show by default, having the last item of the list selected by default would look odd.
17:25:51 <aleth> flo: My thinking was, why would you want the short list back if you have needed the long list once already?
17:26:08 <aleth> (actually needed, not just looked at)

20:04:45 <flo> aleth: you still have the patch for bug 1415 in mind, right? can I ask some questions here instead of reading the code for a while? :)
20:04:48 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1415 nor, --, ---, aletheia2, ASSI, Unread ruler should also appear after last context message
20:04:58 <aleth> Sure!
20:05:12 <flo> do you know what |--this._readCount;| is for?
20:06:15 <aleth> _readCount is the number of context messages (already read messages) still to be displayed on opening the conversation.
20:07:02 <aleth> So it is decreased each time we display a context message. When it's zero after the -- we are just displaying the last context message on the current call.
20:08:08 <flo> ok!
20:08:12 <flo> can _readCount be < 0 ?
20:08:40 <aleth> It can be in my patch, that's the point of the change.
20:09:01 <aleth> It then counts (-) the number of (new) messages displayed in the conversation
20:09:41 <flo> uh, ok. I'll need to read that part again :)
20:10:03 <-- mmkmou has quit (Quit: Instantbird -- http://www.instantbird.com)
20:10:22 <aleth> I thought there would be a more minimal/elegant solution to this bug, but it turned out more special-casey than I thought.
20:10:35 <aleth> So I added some comments...
20:10:36 <flo> I don't understand "// Don't set any unread flags if we are just opening the conversation." why wouldn't you want to set the flags if there's only one new message (opening the conversation) but no context?
20:11:07 <aleth> Because if we are opening the conversation, the tab is focused and selected and so the flag will never get cleared.
20:11:26 <aleth> The standard behaviour is for the flag to go away when a tab is selected
20:12:28 <flo> the setUnreadFlag variable is based on a check for whether the tab is selected and the window focused
20:12:47 <flo> it's the check for !this._haveContextMessages that I don't understand
20:13:20 <aleth> the setUnreadFlag variable now also allows the case where we are opening the conversation
20:14:41 <aleth> Maybe it would be better to split up the various combined booleans differently now? I wasn't sure.
20:15:42 <aleth> (we are opening the conversation and adding context messages -> this._haveContextMessages is true)

20:36:12 <aleth> Actually I just realized in the final version of my patch there is no reason for _readCount to go negative, so I could do without moving that line.
20:37:15 <flo> could it be the reason why I didn't understand that? :)
20:37:55 <aleth> It might be :) Though it makes no difference really.
20:39:22 <aleth> After you review it, I can change the comments if they aren't clear enough too.
20:39:53 <flo> if you are going to attach another patch soon, the nits I found are: you don't need to name the function used as the sort comparator, and I think you don't need to test if (this._haveContextMessages) before deleting it (deleting a non existent property doesn't cause a warning)
20:40:24 <aleth> I won't attach another patch until you are done to avoid confusion.
20:40:34 <flo> ok
20:41:01 <aleth> I knew there wouldn't be a delete warning, but I thought it was IB coding style to check...
20:41:20 <aleth> Good to know one can save those if's
20:42:00 <flo> ah? it's possible there are other similar tests, it's not something we strongly enforce either way :)
20:42:24 <aleth> I might have misinterpreted something a long time ago...
20:42:27 <aleth> If I don't name the function, how do I specify its parameters?

20:49:29 <flo> aleth: sort(function(a, b) a[0] - b[0]); should work
20:50:00 <aleth> OK, good to know
20:50:14 --> EionRobb has joined #instantbird
20:50:55 <aleth> _haveContextMessages tells addMsg the message is being added by showFirstMessages (and is in the context message part)
20:50:59 <flo> aleth: it seems your code sets the unread flags only for the first unread message, which is when this._readCount is == -1. Or is there something I missed?
20:52:43 --> Mic has joined #instantbird
20:52:43 * ChanServ sets mode +h Mic 
20:53:43 <aleth> If you are looking at |if (setUnreadFlag && !this._haveContextMessages)...|, it sets them completely independently of the readCount value (well, it's <=0 from the position in the code, but is not checked), and only if the message being added is not being added from showFirstMessages.
20:53:56 <aleth> So that's not only for the first unread message.
20:54:30 <aleth> Otherwise you would never get pinged ;)
20:56:26 <aleth> Hmm, I think there may be a ping-related bug, but it's not the one you are thinking of I think.
20:57:39 <flo> the bug I'm thinking of is "it's impossible to understand that code" :(
20:57:59 <aleth> yeah...
20:59:33 <aleth> The problem is putting the unread ruler between context and non-context messages on opening the conversation runs counter to the way the code was structured originally.
21:00:06 --> Tomek has joined #instantbird
21:00:08 <flo> what bad thing happens if you don't change this test to this: "if (setUnreadFlag && !this._haveContextMessages) {" ?
21:01:29 <aleth> Then the flag on the tab may be set just after you open a conversation from hold. It would then stay set until you switch away from the tab _and_ switch back to it. So it breaks being notified of new messages.
21:02:09 <Mic> This doesn't really sound like fun :(
21:02:25 <flo> wait, is _haveContextMessages used only to work around the fact that _readCount isn't reset at the end of _showFirstMessages?
21:03:53 <aleth> No, that's not it. One issue is that there may be system messages among the "new" messages which visually should belong to the context messages but are not counted in _readCount.
21:05:52 <aleth> Though one could maybe do something clever with readCount to get around that, I'm not sure that would be more legible.
21:09:08 <flo> I think I still don't understand the bug you were seeing before all these changes :-/
21:10:32 <aleth> When you say "reset" in "is _haveContextMessages used only to work around the fact that _readCount isn't reset at the end of _showFirstMessages", do you mean deleted?
21:11:15 <flo> delete, or set to 0 or whatever value doesn't get in the way
21:13:14 <aleth> Probably possible, but then you are just replacing the presence/absence of _haveContextMessages with the difference between readCount== 0 and undefined I think.
21:14:05 <-- clokep_work has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
21:14:35 <aleth> I guess I'll take another look and see if the booleans can be grouped better so things are clearer...
21:14:40 <flo> I think it would help if I could understand what this patch is trying to fix. "The ruler was being added to the DOM synchronously, while the messages are added asynchronously." doesn't really make sense to me. Both seem to be added synchronously, both before and after the patch.
21:15:39 <aleth> Oh, that's a bit we haven't even talked about. That just refers to setUnreadRuler being moved from conversation.xml to convbrowser. Convbrowser has the progress bar staggering, that's what I meant by asynchronous.
21:16:21 * flo is even more confused
21:16:26 <aleth> That really is a bug in the existing code which just wasn't noticed so far.
21:17:58 <aleth> appendMessage in convbrowser doesn't immediately add the message to the DOM, it adds them to a list which is then added bit by bit. So if conversation.xml sets the unread ruler just because it's sent n appendMessage calls, it will quite possibly insert the ruler in the wrong place.

21:19:26 <flo> aaaah!
21:19:40 <flo> I didn't remember the queue had been moved from conversation.xml to convbrowser.xml
21:20:02 <aleth> nor did I when I wrote the unreadruler code ;)
21:20:58 <flo> is the added sort call yet another unrelated bugfix?
21:21:07 <aleth> No.
21:21:30 <aleth> That's because in the existing code, there is no way the unread ruler can be above the first noncontext message.

21:22:55 <-- Mic has quit (Quit: Instantbird -- http://www.instantbird.com)
21:23:18 <flo> isn't the unread ruler always either at the same position as the first noncontext message, or further down?
21:24:01 <flo> hmm, with some padding/margin difference
21:24:05 <aleth> Yes, but in terms of coordinates it may be above it. Probably would make no difference given the way section scroll works, but better to do it cleanly.
21:25:00 <flo> ok
21:28:53 <flo> is the unread ruler between context and non context going to disappear after the conversation is unfocused and refocused? Will that join the last context bubble with the bubble after it?
21:29:44 <aleth> it will disappear as usual, but it won't rejoin those bubbles.
21:30:00 <flo> ok :)

21:37:58 <flo> aleth: the change with --this._readCount is just to fix the value of _isAfterFirstRealMessage?
21:38:55 <aleth> The meaningful change there (that has to be kept) is moving if(...)this._isAfterFirstRealMessage = true; above if(read)
21:39:19 <flo> ok, that's what I just understood :)
21:39:25 <aleth> OK :)
21:41:18 <aleth> If one didn't care about seeing an unread ruler when opening a conversation from hold, that would be the only change necessary for the bug.
21:41:32 <flo> so, if you get rid completely of _haveContextMessages, revert the change to the way setUnreadFlag is set, change the way firstUnread is set so that it can doesn't care about the tab being selected/focused when this._readCount == 0, revert the change to _readCount that can make it be negative and only keep the move. Is anything broken?
21:43:10 <flo> "so that it can doesn't care" -> ignore the "can" here :)
21:44:23 <aleth> I'll have to check. You'd have to distinguish between _readCount==0 and undefined I think. Otherwise you'd get the unread ruler popping up all the time in the open conversation as new messages arrive.
21:45:20 <aleth> (undefined would denote we are not adding the first messages anymore)
21:48:29 <flo> so maybe we need to store this._firstUnread = true when displaying a message with firstUnread = true, and reset that to false when the conversation is no longer displayed?
21:50:29 <aleth> I think I see what you are getting at, but I don't like the implementation.
21:50:43 * bear-afk is now known as bear
21:50:43 <aleth> You mean "just check if there is already an unread ruler"
21:51:25 <aleth> I think?
21:52:52 <flo> maybe, yes
21:53:05 <flo> if that gives us something readable

21:53:26 <aleth> Life was easier without the request to have the unread ruler between context and noncontext messages ;)
21:53:44 <aleth> I'll have to think about it another day to see if it will break something else
21:55:01 <flo> aleth: sometimes to keep one's sanity, it's good to ignore some requests ;)
21:56:04 * flo will shamelessly ignore the requests to add tests to gloda's search result view :-P
21:56:43 <aleth> heh :D
21:56:43 <aleth> gloda sure sounds like its real fun to work with :-S
21:56:46 <flo> aleth: would it simplify things if we landed this evening the fix for the existing bug? It shouldn't be difficult to split out of the current patch, right?
21:57:03 <aleth> Yes, I was just thinking the same thing, splitting that off

22:11:38 <flo> what's the commit message for that? :)
22:12:34 <aleth> "Set unread ruler at the same time as the following message is added to the DOM"?
22:12:37 <flo> "display the unread ruler at the correct place even if messages were queued for asynchronous display when the first unread message arrived." is this accurate?
22:13:12 <aleth> Yes, that's better, describes the bug too.

22:17:57 <aleth> I had a brief look at sending messages to offline accounts btw, and suspect it applies to all JS protos

22:18:15 <aleth> But I'm not sure as I don't use JS-XMPP
22:18:32 <flo> what do you mean with "sending messages to offline accounts"?
22:18:54 <flo> ah, the lack of user feedback?
22:18:58 <aleth> Uh, that doesn't sound good.
22:19:05 <flo> did we even do that for libpurple accounts?

22:20:42 <flo> ah, that means sendMsg throws?
22:20:49 <aleth> I think so.

23:07:31 <flo> aleth: I don't see anything in the code preventing from sending a message to a disconnected libpurple account
23:08:36 <aleth> That's the behaviour I get though, for MSN and XMPP at least.
23:08:48 <flo> ok, the error console gives the solution: "Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0xc1f30001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED) [prplIAccount.HTMLEnabled]"
23:09:11 <aleth> Ah yes. Sorry, should have spotted that.
23:09:13 <flo> it's the call at http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/instantbird/content/conversation.xml#309 that throws
23:09:27 <aleth> I thought the throw was intentional from libpurple.
23:10:03 <flo> I think we can just if (!account.connected) return; just above that line
23:10:32 <aleth> That should do it :)
23:11:00 <aleth> Though there are ways the UI might try to send a system message I suppose
23:11:24 <flo> the system message would be some code before that "return;"
23:13:19 <flo> do we want to print "Your computer seems offline" or "Your <protocol> account <name> is not connected." depending on whether the user can go to the account manager to fix the situation?
23:14:30 <flo> clokep: how does that xmpp patch sound?
23:14:52 <aleth> Might be nicer than merely "breaking" the return key :)

23:53:57 <aleth> Yes, the refactoring really made it nice :)
23:55:37 <aleth> You could move this to the participant setMode too: conversation.notifyObservers(convChatBuddy, "chat-buddy-update");
