Bug Description

Binary package hint: xchat-gnome

Prior to upgrading to Gutsy I could use /away [reason] with impunity to mark myself as being away or having returned.

Since upgrading this no longer works - I have to use /back to note my return. Clicking on my nick and de-selecting "Mark as away" results in the same message as using /away:

Already marked away: not here
Usage: AWAY [<reason>], sets you away

Manually using /back works, and changes the checkbox.

This isn't invalid. The interface is broken - you cannot return from away using the interface, only by manually issuing the /back command.
