Presence status is completely wrong

[turt2live]

Description

For some rooms I'm offline, some I'm away, and some can't decide while I'm typing. Something is very wrong with the logic.

Note: I'll look into this as part of my 'fix riot' sprint

Version information

• Platform: web (in-browser)
• Browser: Chrome 62
• OS: Windows 10
• URL: riot.im/develop

I'm guessing you mean on a homeserver that is configured with presence enabled?

[turt2live]

Yes, my own in this case. For reference, here's some of the behaviour I'm seeing:

• Randomly considered "offline" when switching rooms, never updating to "away" or even "online"
• Occasionally considered "away" even while actively using the app

It's possible this is the result of riot-web conflicting with another app/client (like another browser or even my android phone). The expected behaviour is:

• Show as "Offline" only when the user has specifically asked to be shown as offline (or when the app is closed)
• Show as "Away" when the user hasn't used the app in a while
• Show as "Online" when the user is currently using the app. Ie: typing, scrolling, moving around, etc.

This is pretty bad.

It's probably best to back out of the PR I wrote for prensece management. I'll open a PR sometime this week(end) to do just that.

This should be fixed now #5881 and matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#1676 are merged
