danielstein: I'd like to work on Gajim's new action center, see https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/11677 for an overview

..and the Windows store version needs some attention. So there will also be some work

danielstein: when I am back from Holiday I plan to start working on the media browser

meson, good holidays then!

Thanks

cal0pteryx: I don't know if you saw my previous comment, but how do you feel about the possibility of changing the pending message lines so that they have the same line height as a normal line? Currently, they always show my nick, current time, and pending icon, which makes them taller than a single line when using the setting to combine lines? (can't find the setting). This current way results in a jarring effect that every time I post a message, there is a brief display of a what I just described, followed by a less tall line.

The only problem is, I don't have a suggestion on how it might look right now, since the pending icon has to go somewhere. Maybe the pending line could be shaded differently and a pending icon could overlay it? not sure.

fjklp: messages only get merged if certain properties match. A pending message can't be merged with a sent message. That's why there is a 'lag' which briefly shows them separate, then merged. This does not only affect the 'pending' icon, but all meta data. I'm not sure how this could be done better

Personally, I don't often see any lag

It definitely is partly dependent on server response time. I have an account that is slow to respond, so I frequently see this. (I don't think this should undermine the reality of the problem)
