14:08:03 <aleth> Re your SVG problem, the other day I discovered you can embed JS inside SVG too. Does that help for grabbing a colour from a parent element (which I think your problem was)?
14:08:34 <Mic> That's how one of the examples I found worked
14:09:07 <Mic> He added something as parameter to the url of the svg image and split the parameters off from the svg using javascript
14:09:18 <aleth> It would be cleaner to use attribute:inherit if possible of course
14:09:43 <clokep> aleth: What is http://log.bezut.info/instantbird/today/#m58 in reply to?
14:09:57 <aleth> clokep: http://log.bezut.info/instantbird/today/#m23
14:10:02 <Mic> All the CSS and attribute pieces are completely separate for the html and svg parts
14:10:15 <clokep> Ah that was hidden with the instantbot messages. :)
14:10:34 <aleth> But the svg doesn't need a separate URL afaik, you can inline it
14:11:11 <aleth> Is it still separate then?
14:11:20 <Mic> Ah, good question! :)
14:12:22 <aleth> clokep: At first I read "username" for the nick and thought there might be a weird bug somewhere :P
14:13:31 * clokep can't reproduce this chat buddy twice issue. :-/

14:15:03 <aleth> clokep: Just rapidly restarting IB clearly isn't enough :-/
14:17:59 <clokep> I have a feeling it's from when you rejoin a chat with a lot of participants (i can kind of see there being a race condition...)
14:18:46 <aleth> A race condition of some sort does seem likely
14:19:59 <Mic> "Attachment #1217 to bug 1217 created" :D

14:20:11 <Mic> What a conincidence :)
14:20:38 <aleth> clokep: Though when it happened on mozilla it was from a channel with <100 participants, so not that many.
14:20:47 <clokep> Oh, it was? OK.
14:20:50 <clokep> Hmmm....
14:21:33 <aleth> Mic: you've been waiting and waiting to submit that? :P
14:22:00 <Mic> No, I'm going back through the open list of bugs and do things that come to my mind
14:22:15 <aleth> I meant for the coincidence ;)
14:22:38 <Mic> Ah, no
14:23:23 <aleth> clokep: Does the conjunction with "End of /NAMES list" tell you something?
14:23:56 <clokep> aleth: I would need to know the state of the channel currently + then the names that get sent to it.
14:23:57 <Mic> The participant list keeps the list with the unchanged nicknames as keys iirc, so it can't be a sort of nick collision because of two nicks being normalized to the same name?
14:24:10 <clokep> When we join we kill all the participants (if there are any) and wait to be told who is in the room.
14:24:24 <clokep> Mic: It's possible.
14:24:44 <clokep> "unchanged nicknames as keys" Idk what that means.
14:25:02 <Mic> unchanged = as they are, not normalized
14:25:03 <aleth> clokep: It might be useful to add the "doubled" nickname to the error message.
14:26:17 <clokep> aleth: Yes it could be, that's in core code not IRC code btw.
14:27:17 <aleth> Yes, it's in conversation.xml
14:28:00 <aleth> http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/instantbird/content/conversation.xml#947
14:28:04 <clokep> Yes.
14:34:02 <-- chrisccoulson has quit (Quit: Ex-Chat)
14:35:54 <clokep> I think it'd be nice if the message style thing previewed context messages too.
14:36:01 <clokep> Or it'd at lesat be conveient for me right now. :-D
14:37:00 <Mic> If it is clear why they looked differently in this preview, yes

14:39:46 <clokep> I have a couple of errors from our  l10nHelper and I want to know what it's trying to include / use that's failing...
14:39:49 <aleth> Pipe the terminal output to a file?
14:40:46 <clokep> Ah I need to turn on a pref...
14:40:59 <aleth> You also need to set browser.dom.window.dump.enabled = true

17:08:24 <flo> clokep: you need to enable the pref *and* start with -console on the command line to see dump() calls on a non-debug build I think
17:10:18 <flo> for the nicklist issue, I would have guessed that somewhere some irc code was using toLowerCase instead of the IRC normalize function, hence causing issues for some nicks with special characters, but lxr tells me the IRC code never uses toLowerCase

19:40:55 <Mook> hmm, I guess nobody builds debug builds on windows, given the --enable-valgrind :p
19:54:41 --> Mic has joined #instantbird
19:54:41 * ChanServ sets mode +h Mic 
20:00:24 <flo> Mook: does that make the build fail on Windows?
20:00:43 <Mook> yes, because it can't find valgrind
20:01:08 <Mook> I'm hacking it out locally; now it's just dying on boring things like not having the directx sdk (which I'm downloading now)
20:02:29 <flo> you can probably add --disable-angle
20:03:20 <Mic> CSS is wonderful: as it turns out the color  'darkgray' is lighter than 'gray' :S
20:03:23 <Mook> probably, yes, but actually installing it shouldn't be so bad either :p
20:09:26 <flo> Mook: well, it's a matter of how much you trust Microsoft installers to not completely screw up your system
20:10:12 <Mook> true; for this specific one, I think it's okay
20:11:22 <flo> I think it's the one that forced us to completely reinstall the Windows build VM, but oh well... :)
20:13:15 <Mic> "Microsoft" triggered a ping for me :S
20:14:43 <flo> Mic: because it's troll-time? :)
20:14:55 <flo> oh, you mean with JS-IRC?
20:15:01 <Mic> No .. a real one. Bold text and such
20:15:12 <aleth> flowerpot!
20:15:24 <flo> I guess it's http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/chat/modules/jsProtoHelper.jsm#530 that sucks
20:16:12 <Mic> aleth: the one the .. floor? :P
20:17:52 <flo> Mic, aleth: wanna get kicked for off-topic spam? :-P
20:18:07 <Mook> I guess that really wants a RE for \b (nick) \b, except escape the nick correctly...
20:18:10 <Mic> Seems to be case-sensitive, too.
20:18:22 <aleth> As long as we don't flood the channel we should be ok ;)
20:18:41 <Mic> microsoft doesn't trigger it, while Microsoft does.
20:20:04 <flo> aleth: !
20:32:21 <-- skeledrew has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre)
20:36:12 <Mook> oh, it's also using -j4 by default; nice.
20:37:27 --> skeledrew has joined #instantbird
20:42:45 <flo> "detection is case sensitive" how is this a problem?
20:43:08 <Mook> FLO: BECAUSE I LIKE TO SHOUT
20:43:43 <Mic> Flo: no idea.
20:44:13 <flo> I think it's the indented behavior
20:44:43 <flo> or maybe it should match the exact case + the lowercase variant of the nick
20:44:48 <Mook> (this is more an issue for people with upper case in their nicks, because people sometimes type them out manually in lower case)
20:45:00 <flo> so that it would match Mic or mic, but not MIC or MIc
20:46:18 <aleth> That's the logic we used for tab complete, so it would be consistent.
20:46:19 <Mook> that should work, though it sounds like you're trying too hard :)

21:25:08 <skeledrew> how are things?

22:13:54 <skeledrew> k
22:13:59 <skeledrew> thanks
22:14:18 <skeledrew> but right now i'm trying to rebuild my workspace though
22:14:36 <-- mmkmou has quit (Ping timeout)
22:19:28 <aleth> Sometimes you seem to get "Quit: Input/output error" instead of the default quit message, for people who just seem to be quitting normally.
22:21:32 <sonny> flo: can you tell me if the GSoC student who worked on xmpp-js is easily contactable and if I can ask him to hep me find out why we have a interop issue with ejabberd ?
22:24:23 --> Tomek has joined #instantbird
22:43:01 <flo> aleth: that probably indicates that we are sending crap to the server at the time we disconnect in some cases :(
22:43:27 <flo> sonny: what do you mean with "we have a interop issue with ejabberd" here?
22:45:41 <flo> if you see a problem with the current JS-XMPP code, please file a bug with steps to reproduces :)
22:45:56 <-- danols has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre)
22:46:03 <flo> at this point I've probably modified JS-XMPP enough that I know the current state of this code more than Varuna ;)

22:56:37 <flo> aleth: JS-IRC used to send a PART command to each channel when ib quits

22:57:28 --> aleth has joined #instantbird
22:57:29 * ChanServ sets mode +h aleth 
22:57:39 <flo> aleth: Part!
22:57:57 <aleth> So that seems to work.
22:59:02 <aleth> I'm not 100% sure it's related to shutdown, but that's the correlation I've noticed
23:02:08 <flo> aleth: is part what you expected?
23:02:59 <aleth> Yes, I just checked it to make sure nothing was broken there (and producing an i/o error message) if that's what IB does on quit.
23:04:41 <aleth> Ah, were you suggesting the disconnect happens before the part messages are sent?
23:05:53 <flo> aleth: we shouldn't be sending part messages when the user quits instantbird
23:06:03 <flo> that was a bug, but I think we recently fixed it
23:06:16 <aleth> I agree with that
23:06:34 <aleth> I thought it must be something odd in the IRC spec ;)
