Still happening in Pidgin 1:2.10.6-0ubuntu2.1 on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit. Pidgin developers say there is nothing they can do about it: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/14788 .
Someone made a patch for this issue, though ( http://forum.scilor.com/viewtopic.php?t=986 ), but the included instructions tell *nix users to compile it themselves. Can anyone please post detailed instructions on how to do so? I'm comfortable with using a terminal, however a bit lost when it comes to compiling stuff. Thanks in advance. ** Bug watch added: Pidgin Trac #14788 http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/14788 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901404 Title: Facebook contacts can't be merged/moved to other groups Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: What do I expect? When I merge two contacts they should stay merged. When I move a contact to a specific group, the contact should stay in that group. What happens instead: 1. merge facebook contact with another contact (only checked for ICQ) or move contact to another group 2. reconnect facebook account 3. all facebook contacts are moved to a facebook group again - merging with other contacts is lost #534367 was a similar bug that caused the same problems for myspace, status: fix-released.
