Title:
Aliasing a merged buddy should apply to container or all members, not
one random member
Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: pidgin
If I have several buddies who are the same person, and I merge them,
and I then alias that merged buddy, I expect my chosen name to
persist, whichever of the individual accounts is online. What actually
seems to happen is that clicking "Alias..." on the container just
picks one member to store the alias against, and then if that member
is offline and others are online, the name of an online member is used
instead, giving the impression that the my chosen alias has been lost.
I think aliasing a merged buddy needs to either store the alias
separately from the members, such that it applies to all of them, or
simply apply the alias to all members.
