Public bug reported: Pidgin hangs when pasting http:// or https:// URLs into the text entry field. Can't kill it, must kill -9 the process.
Steps to reproduce: - open chat window to a jabber/xmpp contact - type "http://www.launchpad.net/"; in a separate terminal window. highlight with the mouse, Ctrl-C to copy. - focus on chat window, Ctrl-V paste What I expect: The text appears in the chat window, and the chat window still response to keyboard/mouse input. What I see: Text does not appear, pidgin stops responding to any input, maybe even stops updating its windows. Other info: Doesn't hang if I use `xclip -selection clipboard -i <<<"https://www.launchpad.net"` then Ctrl-V to paste. Saw this in the `pidgin -d` debug logs: ``` (18:50:23) jabber: Sending (ssl) (myn...@gmail.com/HomeXXXXXXXX): <message type='chat' id='purple7bf2509b' to='theirn...@gmail.com'><composing xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/chatstates'/></message> (18:50:29) Gtk: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Attribute 'fontdesc' is not allowed on the <span> tag on line 1 char 39 (18:50:29) Gtk: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Attribute 'fontdesc' is not allowed on the <span> tag on line 1 char 39 (18:50:29) Gtk: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Attribute 'fontdesc' is not allowed on the <span> tag on line 1 char 39 dns[1116855]: nobody needs me... =( ``` Might be Gtk misbehaving with clipboard data, and pidgin goes catatonic dealing with a bad message from Gtk?
