** Description changed: Binary package hint: pidgin + + When the satus goes to Away after some idle time, Pidgin changes my + status message without user's permisson, without allowing to choose the + message, and in a language the user's contacts do not necessarily + understand. From Tools -> Preferences -> Status/Idle I have: Auto/Away [check] Minutes [choose] Change status [check] Change status to [choose] However, I cannot choose which status message it will enforce on my accounts, or to just disable it. My contacts see a "I'm not here right now", which sound ridiculous for most of my contacts, to which I speak in a language rather than English. 1. There is no menu entry to disable or change that message. 2. After I touch the mouse or the keyboard, the status is restored this status message persists.
