Bug 57565 – Gaim 0.80 crashes when "Chat" button is clicked

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ramon de Ruiter 2004-07-19 04:16:32 UTC]

I only use the MSN protocol, so i have no idea if this problem also applies to the others.

When i've logged in to my MSN account and i click the Chat button, gaim crashes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Gaim
2. Login to MSN account
3. Click "Chat"

Actual Results:  
gaim crashes (closes)

Expected Results:  
Perhaps ask a screenname you'd like to chat with like the "Get Info" button
does, or just do nothing.

Can duplicate here.  Can/have you report this upstream.  BTW.  Gaim MSN protocol doesn't support chat yet, I don't think.

[Comment 3 Robert Davis 2004-07-21 09:11:45 UTC]

Add Gaim bug #995342.

[Comment 4 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-07-21 09:17:48 UTC]

This bug has been confirmed upstream by devs.  A fix is being worked on.

[Comment 5 Don Seiler (RETIRED) 2004-07-21 09:48:15 UTC]

Patch is here

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=995366&group_id=235&atid=300235

I'm testing it now and will commit to 0.80 (no revision bump) when done.

Fixed in revision 1.4 of gaim-0.80.ebuild.
