Hi Billy. I think I have got around the problem. I upgraded from 2.1.0 to 2.3.1 and the problem has gone away. I can now drag in and out of contacts with no trouble at all. Everything else on the PC is the same - I didn't even have to reboot.
With the old version the problem was like you describe. When I tried to drag the buddy out of the contact there was no floating rectangle. Nothing happened at all. The system is Windows XP - standard with no fancy desktop features. I read all the release notes for the versions between the old and new and I couldn't see anything about a bug like this. Anyway, I'm very happy now. Thanks for your help. - Bob ------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re:Where did my buddy go From: Billy Crook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 18 December 2007 18:43:44 I just want to clarify. Are you saying that after you depress your left mouse button over the buddy, and move the mouse, you do not get a floating rectangle form a buddy that was part of a contact? It's always a good idea to stay current. It sounds like it might be a gtk bug if anything. Are you using windows? Do you have any special desktop modifications like "alternate shells" or "windows blinds"? _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
