It is'nt a big problem, however don't think it's a bug, i think you just signed in orginally as appear online it asked you to change your status to online and it's stuck like that. When your signing in just quickly change your status from online to offline and when you are signed in it should be fine.
Hoped i helped, some people might help you better
