Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pidgin
Buddies in my list using Alias formatting from the MSN live messenger show up wrongly, such as: *one [c=47][b]s0*D3LiCiouS-rawr[/b][/c=40] [ c=47 ] seems to be a colour instruction whereas [ b ] is obviously a "bold" tag i understand the lack of interest in textformatting support for buddy names and aliases in pidgin, yet i don't see the necessity of displaying the formatting code in the buddy name. rather should pidgin understand the code and recognize it as formatting code, then remove it from the alias or buddy name ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri May 2 02:27:14 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/pidgin NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: pidgin 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: pidgin Uname: Linux 2.6.24-16-generic i686 ** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug -- msn buddy names show formatting code instead of the name only https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225469 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
