Public bug reported: I have configured my irc.freenode.net account on Pidgin (using TLS and port 6697) and saved the account credentials so that I am logged in automatically. The login works only for the first time after adding the account. But Pidgin doesn't log me in from the 2nd time of opening Pidgin.
I have the 30 seconds limit to authenticate as my user to Freenode and Pidgin does nothing at to authentication. Manually authenticating using a command like '/msg NickServ identify <password>' within the 30 seconds works fine.
