[Desktop-packages] [Bug 589890] Re: can't close pidgin conversations when opened with messaging-menu
This bug is still present in Ubuntu 13.10 (pidgin-libnotify version 0.14-9ubuntu2) Pidgin is so much better than Empathy it is unreal that Pidgin isn't the default IM. This libnotify issue is the ONLY issue I know of, so i'd love it is some Ubuntu dev just sorts it. (how hard can it be, when there is a working patch already done?!?!?) In the mean time (as it has been almost half a decade since this bug was reported) how can a 'normal' ubuntu user apply the patch that is known to fix this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin-libnotify in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589890 Title: can't close pidgin conversations when opened with messaging-menu Status in “pidgin-libnotify” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: pidgin-libnotify I don't have tabs enabled in pidgin. After clicking on a notification in the indicator applet, the conversation is opened in a tabbed window. Attempting to close any conversation in this tabbed window just moves the tabs position to the end of the list (that is, it's impossible to close any conversation after clicking on a notification in the indicator applet). This is what I expect to happen: when I click on a notification in the menu, it opens a conversation window. When I then close that window, it goes away. This is what really happens: I click on a notification and it opens up a tabbed conversation window. It is impossible to get rid of this window (and any conversations therein) without quitting pidgin.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 376528] Re: Pidgin freezes when closing an IRC channel window
I'd guess that this is simply yet another one of the https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin-libnotify/+bug/589890 bugs That bug somehow opens up a 'different' message window, that when the user clicks 'close', the window doesn't close. This bug will likely be fixed when libnotify uses whatever the standard pidgin IM window open method is :) Don't hold your breath though m8, this bug has been here for almost half a decade...lol -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin-libnotify in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376528 Title: Pidgin freezes when closing an IRC channel window Status in “pidgin-libnotify” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: pidgin-libnotify With pidgin configured this way: [15:43] njpatel dbarth: right, pidgin has the ability for you to be part of an irc chat, but not have the chat window opened. When someone pings you, it opens up and you can read the log [15:46] njpatel dbarth: right-click on the channel in your buddy list, and then check the persistent checkbox. Then, even if you close the window, it's logged in And as reported by Neil, for reference: [15:31] njpatel does anyone have the issue that, if your in a irc chat in pidgin, but the window isn't open and someone talks to you, the window that pops up with the chat cannot be closed without freezing pidgin? [15:31] njpatel only on irc chats that your 'in' but the window is closed When trying to close the window, pidgin goes into an infinite loop and freezes. The window is not closed. With 'top' it seems that pidgin and Xorg take most of the CPU, while observing the window manager (metactiy) I can see the window title name change very rapidly. The bug can be reproduced consistently. The bug does not occur if using a double-click on the channel name to re-open the chat window.
