Steps to reproduce the bug: Open a group member list and look for an online user. Search for that same user in SL's Find window. In this case, I saw Kona Linden online via the SL Preview group's member list so I searched for him in the Find > People tab and he didn't show up.

Observed results: A search for online Lindens shows a user as not online but shows the same user online in the SL Preview group member list...

Expected results: Online status should be consistent. This "bug" implies hiding one's online status is, perhaps, only possible with Lindens...

Lindens have that option, also I believe that if i'm on a private estate (hidden from everyone) i'll appear offline to people who have my note... as in the find menu.. not sure if I would appear offline there too.

Well, gee, what makes Lindens and private estate owners/users special? EVERYONE deserves to have privacy!

I totally agree, we should have a BUSY, AWAY and OFFLINE button. With the BUSY and AWAY we should be able to put in our own messages.

Lindens have had stealth mode and p2p tepelorting since before I joined SL.

I've been using the group bug to sta- see if the Lindens are online, now you gone and told them and they will remove it.

*discontent sigh*

With regard to bugs, the statement "now you gone and told them and they will remove it." does not necessarily apply.
