Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
Dangerously placed next to Save As... in the Conversation menu, Clear
Scrollback (Ctrl-L) cannot be undone, though there is a high risk for
accidental selection of this item when trying to save the scrollback
e.g. on mobile devices with imprecise trackpoints/-pads or certain
touchscreens.
Therefore it should have an "Are you sure?" dialog (possibly with the
option of disabling the latter for the future).
Otherwise, only the most experienced users will be able to immediately salvage
texts lost this way from RAM nonetheless e.g. by something like
sudo strings /proc/kcore | grep -B 100 -A 20 recent_unique_keyword
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04
Package: pidgin 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1
** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

Clear Scrollback should have a query by default, as it cannot be undone
