I tried to reproduce this again using a different setup. Previously, I was using Ubuntu i686 on a Sempron 2800+ with 512 MB of RAM. I just tried it on a much newer machine--X2 6000+ and 8 GB of RAM on amd64--and the bug is still there.
All I had to do was go to an Amazon item page, hit Ctrl+A to select all of the text on the page, then copy and paste it into a Pidgin conversation. Compiz helped me a little bit this time in realizing that Pidgin is crashing/looping/not working when it made it black and white. -- Crash when pasting this text into buddy chat https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
