I edited the description and am marking this as Fix Committed since this
is fixed in Pidgin 2.5 as Jonas verified which is Intrepid.
However Jonas please feel free to file your other issues as separate
bugs, and if you link to them here I will make sure to triage them
appropriately. Thanks again!
** Summary changed:
- IRC typed /msg copied /msg
+ Copying and pasting IRC command from and then back to Pidgin doesn't execute
command
** Description changed:
+ Normally you can type /msg and other commands into IRC-related Pidgin
+ conversations and have them execute. However this doesn't work if you
+ type the command in pidgin, cut/copy it, and then re-paste it.

Binary package hint: pidgin
1)
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
2)
pidgin 1:2.4.1-lubuntu2.1
pidgin-data 1:2.4.1-lubuntu2.1
3)
I expected it to use the /msg command.
4)
The text was sent to the channel and not as you would assume as a /msg
command but as plain text.
(My guess is that the / sent when copying is not the same char that is sent
when you type it in.)
(I tried copying from the text editor with the same result.)
[These are just my comments, I can't refrain from commenting when given the
chance.]
* Copying is a lot faster, I would be most pleased to have the above function
working normally.
* When downloading I liked the accept pop up, please do not change that.
* When downloading I had to select where I wanted to save the file every
time, could you please make it possible to select a default saving folder.
* I would like the possibility to open a server window without having to
connect to a chat.
* Would it be possible to put the 6 tabs I get when I connect to an irc
server in one tab (and call that server window).
* The users are colored in a variety of colors and some of those don't go
well on a white background. Could you please subtract like 20 to all the rgb
values to make all the colors darker and more visible.
* How do I change the background color?
* When someone connects it lists their address and this breaks one of the
human-computer interface rules, do not show the user things that only a
computer can read.
* There are virtually no settings and that makes the application less
attractive.
* An option to suppress quit and enter messages would be appreciated. It's a
lot easier to read without the unnecessary junk.
* What is my quit message when I use Pidgin?
* Most of the time a download bot only allows one download at a time. To come
around this problem the client could have a text editor where I copy and paste
the downloads I would like to make, then the client downloads the requests one
at a time. Another way to solve it would be to configure the bot in the bot
list to only allow one transfer at a time but you could still add new requests
but they are merely queued until the first download completes.
* I have looked at the !list command and I'm amazed that I have to do all
this searching and stuff by hand when it is made to be read by a computer, why
do I have to read computer generated junk. I'm a nerd but I would rather not
read junk. (In 5 seconds you could build a search tree for all the contents of
a channel and then you could just click on the stuff you wanted and repeat the
procedure on the next channel, time is money.)
* I like the stability of the program, it is rarely I see such stable
programs.
My brain is spent, I hope some of my suggestions make it into a new
version.
Best regards.
