 Even if the group they are in has several online buddies.

 believe this was mentioned before and is due to Pidgin's behavior toward
 "empty" groups.  Stu may be able to shed more light on this, as it is his
 plugin.

 user regardless of the Show Empty Groups and Show Offline Buddies
 preferences.

 I downloaded the latest release of pidgin plugin pack (2.2.1) but saw that
 this has not been fixed yet. Is this still being looked into? This bug
 shows up 100% of the time for me. Others in the group are always online
 (most of my buddies are in the same group) and when I log on the people
 who have set "show offline" won't show up unless I click on and off "show
 offline buddies". I was tinkering around with it, they also show up if I
 sort the buddy list somehow too. For example, usually my buddies are
 sorted by log size, but if I sort it by name, then back to log size, the
 show offline buddies show up.
