I can confirm this bug in maverik, empathy 2.32.0. I also get double notifications on new incoming messages, the first notification happens when the message is received, and the second when you open the message.

seems like the problem only happens when using indicator-applet. notification area does not cause the issue to my testing. on the other side i have only reproduced this bug once.

Ken, could you check on that?

I think that empathy needs to be told to not send old messages to the notification area when the conversation window is opened. This would involve a check to see if a window's already open, but I'm assuming this is probably done already somewhere in the code.

As I recall, this did not occur in 10.04...so, what changed?

This is not only in the notifications area, sometimes everything I receive is double, see attachment.

Happens to me with both the messaging menu and the tray icon. It does not happen when the conversation window is already opened though. Seems like the trigger is the action of opening the window.
