When trying to make net-im/pidgin-2.3.1 act more like net-im/gaim-1.5, the new window preference in Tools >> Preferences >> Interface >> Hide New IM conversations doesn't stick. All new IM conversations are hidden until the system tray icon or any notification (I have none setup) are cleared. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open up Pidgin, and log into one account. 2. Using another account on the same network and a different client, IM to the first account. 3. Note what results. 4. Rotate through different settings of "Conversation Window Hiding" and "Tabs". Actual Results: A notification is issued. No window is popped up. Expected Results: A Window should pop up on new IM conversations. This is a regression from it's previous incarnation, GAIM 1.5
complain upstream, this is a feature not a bug, good luck
Wait... a component that's broken from previous release; that reguardless of setting only works one way, IS A FEATURE?!? Who are you, Larry Wall? Bug reopened.
Its an upstream feature/bug, complain to them.
