Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
pidgin 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1
Ubuntu 8.04.1 AMD64 Linux set 2.6.24-19-generic
I've several accounts in Pidgin with different protocols. When I add a
new buddy by choosing
Buddies > Add Buddies
it brings up an "Add Buddy" dialog that gives me the option to browse
one of my Evolution address books for a buddy. The dialog however does
not let me choose which Pidgin protocol should be used to add the buddy
and it does not appear to be able to detect it properly. In my case, I
choose a contact which has a only one MSN account specified (and as such
is shown in "Add Buddy" dialog) but he's added as a new AIM buddy.
If in the "Add Buddy" dialog you click "New Person", the "New Person"
dialog correctly contains an "Account type" field to choose account
type.
1. Open Evolution
2. Add a new contact, enter a valid MSN address under Instant Messaging (and
only that)
3. Open Pidgin, make sure you have accounts under different protocols (AIM and
MSN in my case)
4. Choose Buddies > Add Buddies and choose the newly added Evolution contact
The buddy is not added to Pidgin with MSN protocol (it uses AIM in my case)
Protocol type should be automatically be MSN, or an option to specify a
protocol type should be given
** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu)
