MUC group chatroom participants users count label is unclear and incomplete
Versions
- Gajim 2.3.3 from Flathub, running on Fedora 42
- GTK Version: 4.18.6
- Adw Version: 1.7.5
- GLib Version: 2.84.3
- Pango Version: 1.56.4
- PyGObject Version: 3.52.3
- cairo Version: 1.18.4
- pycairo Version: 1.28.0
- python-nbxmpp Version: 6.2.0
- libsoup Version: 3.6.5
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Join a chatroom where there are offline people
- Compare the user count in the chatroom's "Information" pane vs the people you see in the participants list sidebar or in the "Manage" pane
Expected behavior
- Show the total count
- Have a more explicit label than a single digit. Maybe something like: "8 participants (5 online), including you"
Actual behavior
The participants count in the "Information" section…
- Is always 1 lower than expected, because it excludes yourself (without telling you about that)
- Excludes offline participants, apparently
…as a result, in one XMPP testing group chat I am in, Gajim says there are 5 participants while there actually are 8 people (3 other users as owners, me as admin, and 4 regular members; 2 of those people are currently offline):
