Package: pidgin Version: 2.4.3-4 Severity: minor The Alias option on the right-click menu in the Buddy List has an unfortunate interaction with window managers configured with focus follows mouse. Selecting Alias highlights the current buddy name so that it can be replaced, but that highlighting is immediately lost if the Buddy List loses focus. Since the right-click menu is frequently longer than the Buddy List menu (or at least the vertical space remaining in the Buddy List menu), selecting Alias in a window manager with focus follows mouse highlights the buddy name and immediately unhighlights it due to the window losing focus. It makes the menu option appear to do nothing.
The workaround is to make the window large enough so that the mouse is still over the Buddy List menu after selecting Alias from the menu. The best fix would probably be to leave the highlighting of the buddy name persistant even if the window loses focus, but I don't know if this would break something else. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pidgin depends on: ii gconf2 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-6.1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.19-3 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkspell0 2.0.13-1+b1 a spell-checking addon for GTK's T ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpurple0 2.4.3-4 multi-protocol instant messaging l ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii perl 5.10.0-17 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.10.0] 5.10.0-17 minimal Perl system ii pidgin-data 2.4.3-4 multi-protocol instant messaging c Versions of packages pidgin recommends: ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.19-2 GStreamer plugins from the "base" ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.8-4 GStreamer plugins from the "good" Versions of packages pidgin suggests: pn evolution-data-server <none> (no description available) pn gnome-panel | kicker | docker <none> (no description available) ii libsqlite3-0 3.5.9-5 SQLite 3 shared library -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
