Active call panel incorrectly displayed when recieving a call

i swear i saw this as well - but now it's corrected ?
or is it possible this is _only_ on rtm and not on vivid ?

This is most probably some focus/app-active issue within the shell, as described by boiko:

I actually can see the bug both on incoming calls and outgoing calls, when selecting a number from Recents and then pressing the call button

So the reason is that when the user accepts a call, the live call window takes a short while to load. Between accepting the call and the live call window showing, the CallManager.callindicatorVisible flag is set, which causes the active call hint to display. Then when the live call shows, it is unset, which hides the active call hint in the panel.

I'm not sure that unity can manage this any more than it already does.

I think the callIndicatorVisible flag should only be set if there are active calls and if the live call window is not active or about to be.
