Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

I'm sorry i could not inquire about the bug in detail. I tried my best
however someone i know (immichaelkthx) already wrote a report and took
screen shots. After testing i notice it only happens if you enable logging.
I've had the same problem on SuSE linux as well as ubuntu but, NOT WINDOWS
XP OR VISTA, While logging etc. It's a strange bug because when logging in
plain text or HTML it wont log a image. For example if i connect to a friend
and they send me a picture ill see it then but as soon as the window is
closed it wont be logged. I don't understand WHY it tries handling the icons
which are in .png format when it doesn't handle any other image extension
sent thru direct connect. One of the reasons why dumped suse for ubuntu was
because of the Pidgin bug.. However i notice it's not centralized to one
operating system.. Ubuntu just does it more frequently. By saying "lacks
information we need" ?? what do you mean? Surely several others have
reported this; where icons look like envelopes and in their drop down box
they are all X's. Also, it told me to be brief. Not write a thesis on it. In
the grand scheme of things my report wasn't lacking at all, the linux devs
are.
