User Details doesn't show away if no away message known

  1. Join a network without away-notify, set another account away there
  • One example, Freenode/#quasseldroid
  1. Open nicklist, see that away state is shown (icon, italics)
  2. Without /whois'ng the user, open User Details
  3. /whois the user again

Expected

Away is shown with some sort of explanation, some variant of (unknown) or the like, stylized to distinguish it from an actual away message.

Away message is updated to real message after /whois.

Actual

Away is hidden, as if the user is not away.

Away message is revealed after /whois, as if they had gone away when pressing /whois.

Additional

Quassel desktop shows an…

Away message: Unknown

…when hovering over users that are away with an unknown message.

The reveal of information when doing a /whois is very slick 🙂
