Re: [orca-list] Pidgin issue with new conversations



Hi

I think the reason for this is that the new conversation is opening up
in a new tab in the current window, rather than a totally new window.
Use control tab to switch between tabs within the same window.

Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone
I've just started experiencing a very odd, and very problematic, issue
with Pidgin. I'm not sure what caused it, and I don't see any preference
that looks like it would control this behavior.
When I open a new conversation to someone--i.e. I initiate the
message--it works fine. However, when someone contacts me and this
results in a new conversation window being created, I cannot focus the
window at all. It's in the alt-tab list and is announced, but attempting
to bring focus to it simply keeps me in the current window or, on
occasion, will drop me into Pidgin's buddy list window. If I then
attempt to open an IM to the person to send the message, I get the same
result. As long as that window remains open, I cannot bring it into
focus at all. The only way it seems I can close this window is to close
down Pidgin and re-open it.
I'm not sure if this is a problem specifically dealing with Orca and
pidgin, or if it's Pidgin acting up. Given the results so far I would
say it's the lattter. But I'm posting here in case anyone else has seen
this. Does anyone know what might be going on here?
Important versions: Ubuntu 8.10 (all updates applied), Pidgin 2.5.2,
latest orca trunk
