• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John5788 2004-09-02 18:17:36 UTC]

When I drag a buddy from the buddylist into an existing conversation, GAIM crashes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start GAIM
2. Open an IM with a buddy
3. Drag another buddy from the buddylist window into the conversation

Actual Results:  
GAIM crashes and here is the console output

-----------
Gaim has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.
This is a bug in the software and has happened through
no fault of your own.

It is possible that this bug is already fixed in CVS.
If you can reproduce the crash, please notify the gaim
maintainers by reporting a bug at
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/bug.php

Please make sure to specify what you were doing at the time,
and post the backtrace from the core file. If you do not know
how to get the backtrace, please get instructions at
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gdb.php. If you need further
assistance, please IM either RobFlynn or SeanEgn and
they can help you.
Aborted
-----------------

Expected Results:  
I'm not sure what GAIM should have done instead. I've never dragged a buddy from
the buddylist into a conversation window.
