Description claire robinson 2011-09-15 16:10:54 CEST

This bug has been created to allow an update candidate for pidgin to be validated. In its current version it is preventing proper upgrade from Mandriva so cannot really be blocked. The new version 2.10.0 also contains various security fixes.

There is strange nicklist behaviour when using pidgin on IRC on larger channels.

Frédéric Buclin reported it would slowly scroll down the list by itself as people entered the channel. Please see his comments in bug 2199, especially comment 26 where he has provided a screenshot.

It looks as if it glitches as the nicklist updates as people enter or leave a larger channel eg. #ubuntu on freenode.

This was also tested on Ubuntu 11.04 livecd with pidgin 2.9.0 from their PPA with the same strange behaviour.

An upstream bug has been created by Frédéric Buclin at http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/14602

blocks instead of depends, no ?

Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2011-09-16 03:38:47 CEST

Depends on whether the upstream can come up with a patch by tomorrow.
If not, we'll go ahead with 2199 first.

Or do you feel the behaviour you're seeing makes it unusable?

2199 is a security update that shouldn't be kept waiting any longer than
necessary.

Comment 3 Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2011-12-03 02:28:46 CET

Did someone investigate a solution to this problem? This regression is pretty irritating.

Comment 4 claire robinson 2011-12-03 11:38:57 CET

Looking at your upstream bug report there doesn't seem to be much happening. Others have confirmed it there though. 

Pidgin is still at version 2.10.0 so nothing for our devs to do yet.

Comment 5 Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2012-05-03 08:24:55 CEST

The bug has been fixed upstream. I suppose the patch could be backported?

Comment 6 Damien Lallement 2012-05-03 13:04:55 CEST

Sure. Working on it. Thank you for pinging me.
WIP for both 1 and Cauldron.
