I'm also experiencing this. Pidgin freezes on me when I open a new IM window or sometimes it won't freeze until I send an IM. Disabling the sounds (Tools -> Preferences -> Method -> No sounds) fixes the issue.
Running Ubuntu Intrepid x64 with an X-FI XtremeMusic soundcard. It's currently not fully supported (I didn't install the buggy drivers yet) so I have no sound devices in Ubuntu. -- pidgin freezes while typing a message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162701 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
