Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Other Applications :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[Kevin Brosnan]

In Chatzilla 0.9.68a [Firefox rv:1.8b2/20050412] /away does not return you from
an away state.

Steps
1. get Chatzilla 0.9.68a, open a server of your choice
2. type /away, the server marks you as away
3. type /away, nothing happens
4. use the drop down menu on your nick to set your status as Back, it works.

In ChatZilla 0.9.68(a), you should use /back to get back from your away state.
This was changed because people complained that /away should just set you away
with a default reason. So technically, this is not a bug as such. 

I'm marking this as INVALID, please feel free to reopen it if you disagree.

Ok ! Thank you. But the problem is that this is not in IRC documentations...
So Chatzilla begins to have its own syntax ?
Is there a documentation, then ?

Great ! I didn't noticed this menu.

Thanks again, and sorry to have disturbed with this :-(
