Pidgin crashes on right-click of channel title

[Bruce Tarro]

In Pidgin, when you double-click to edit an irc channel title, the name turns into a text box. If you right click on this (to copy the text for instance), it will lock up Pidgin which then can only be killed from a command line.

It should be noted that it's not a complete lock up, because you will still see incoming IRC messages, however you cannot interact with the application.

When launched using --debug from the command line the following messages appear:
(16:29:53) pidgin-libnotify: Conversation Updated (UNSEEN)

I had no idea you could click there to change the topic. Also effects 15.10 and pidgin 2.10.11

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Bruce Tarro (cydizen)]

As a followup, I did test on an alternate system:

pidgin-2.10.11-10.fc22.x86_64
Fedora release 22

The bug does not exist there.
