If you chat with someone who is using the official Yahoo! Messenger web client (contained within Yahoo! Mail), you will get an endless "Typing" notification if the user sends the message right after typing it. This is due to the fact that, after sending the message, the web client does not send out a "typing stopped" packet.

I guess this is done because they expect the other client to recognize that typing has stopped after the message was sent.

I can't seem to find the appropriate code in libpurple, but after testing with it, I see that its behavior is to remove the typing status whenever a message is received. I think that is the best thing to do in this case.
