Description Kristoffer Grundström 2012-11-07 02:48:25 CET 
Description of problem: I use version 2.10.6. As I opened a message-window & start typing on my keyboard I don't see any letters appearing. I have rebuilt Pidgin using the src.rpm from the Mageia 2-repo & sometimes the issue isn't there & sometimes it IS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.10.6

How reproducible: Now and then.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Pidgin 2.10.6.
2. Open the Pidgin-gui.
3. Add protocols.
4. Login to the protocols.
5. Open a chat-window (double-click on a random online contact).
6. Start typing & see if .
7. Exit that window, logout & close Pidgin.
8. Redo the same procedure again until you get now answer in the chat-window.

Comment 1 Kristoffer Grundström 2012-12-07 00:31:38 CET 
The causing package is .11 of gtk+2.0. I just rebuilt version 13 of that package from Cauldron src.rpm & this no longer happens. Please push it to Mageia 2 before releasing Mageia 3 as stable.
