MUC history out of order on remote conference server


Greetings,

We are running into an issue with two servers (both Openfire 3.4.4). When userA on serverA connects to remote MUC room on serverB, the chat log is returned to userA out of order. I looked at the Pidgin debug log and the stanzas appear to come from the server out of order.

When userA connects to a MUC room on serverA, the chat log is in order.

Has anybody else noticed this?

thanks! daryl

I noticed the same, on a constellation like this:
I connect through ServerA (Openfire) to the conference at ServerB (ejabberd). If a bunch of messages arrives quickly, the order might not be preserved.
I noticed the problem again today when we played with a bot who sometimes sent four or five messages at once, in that case the order was mostly random. Other people in the room did not notice the problem, as they were either directly connected to ServerB or connected through a ServerC (ejabberd).
Maybe some problem with storing and polling. But I guess a real programmerâ„¢ could make a more appropriate guess ;-)

When you say out of order, what do you mean? -how- out of order? What parts are out of order? The whole thing? Reversed? Just ones that appear to be on the same timestamp?
