Bug Description

Usually the chat window should close when ESC is pressed. But occasionally this doesn't work.
When the bug happens, pressing ESC leaves me a chat window "frame" without any content (only grey window background, no text areas). Then I press ESC again, the chat window "frame" disappears, and Pidgin crashes.

According to the output of 'pidgin --debug' (see below), there should've been a core-dump happened. If I understand this correctly, a core-dump should trigger apport. But it didn't in this case.

The accounts I have are:
- WebQQ (pidgin-lwqq-unstable)
- Lync (pidgin-sipe)
- XMPP

Last few lines from the output of 'pidgin --debug':
