Workaround for this bug: Click on the port text-box. From now on you don't see what you are doing any more since the + and - buttons are consuming all space. But the text-box is still there, you just can't see it. So you blindly do:
* press Control-A to select all text in the box * backspace to delete everything * type the new number * hit enter * verify the number -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005531 Title: Editing irc port is hard Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: New Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I wanted to add Ubuntu irc server in Empathy and default port number is 6667.
