Bug 247528

Summary:	net-irc/xchat opens a new popup every time a soundfile can not be opened

Description Florian Streibelt 2008-11-19 01:04:08 UTC

when xchat is configured to play a sound on a new message and that file is not available (e.g. after an update of xchat) Xchat pops up a message box informing the user that the file can not be read. 

This Popup is opened for every new message - even if it is already open. I currently have more than 500 Popups on my Desktop an one of the CPU's is completely taken by Xchat, because I use a bouncer and it replayed the log.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure xchat to play a sound on a new message
2. delete the soundfile
3. start xchat

Actual Results:  
a lot of message boxes overlapping everywhere 

Expected Results:  
one messagebox at the first attempt to play the sound - no message boxes on the following attempts to play the sound

Please report this problem upstream. There's nothing we can do about that.
