I think I also had to do the same.

I have experienced this bug, and I believe that it is evo.  Also, I did
not have gaim running.

I remember reading the comments for a patch submission some weeks ago,
and it sounded like it would fix the problem, and problem with hi-lite,
copy, paste of the To, etc.

I eagerly await .5 for it seems like it will fix a fair bit for me.
